How do you pronounce this?

[Moosecalibur]

I was wondering how to pronounce:

GôrŒE

since I'll probably use it as my Brawl nickname and it looks like my real one, Gordy/Gordee.

 

[Eor]

Gore-see .

 

[Moosecalibur]

are there any cool symbols like Πthat make a d-sound?

okay look buster
what you need to do is this ( READ ALL STEPS BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THEM )
1. click on that big green start button at the bottom left of your screen
2. click on control panel
3. double click the "speech" file
4. select the "text to speech" tab at the top of the newly opened window
5. choose a voice that you like from the three available (in XP there are 3)
6. erase the preview text and paste in GôrŒE
7. click "preview voice" and it will pronounce it for you

now you know

Well, what about Ð, ð, or đ? Œ is a lligature of OE, isn't it? As in Œdipus, or Oedipus. It's used in french also, I believe, like in the word cœur (heart). So I would pronounce GôrŒE as go-roeh-e. Not exactly the Gordy sound you're going for. And of course ð is more either the hard "th" sound in "the" when used within the Germanic languages, or more of a j sound, like in "judge" when used in Slavic languages. So again, not to be used to evoke Gordy phonetically, but it looks pretty cool nonetheless.

Yo, give omfgomfg a break. I'm sure it would take me awhile to remember where the start button actually is. I haven't seen one of those in awhile. What exactly does it do again?

jk. But seriously, folks. I really haven't seen one in a couple of months aside from in pictures of other people's desktops.

I don't know why, but this post made me rofl. The fact that you said "buster" just made me go crazy. You sir, deserve a cookie.
