Many people mispronounce my last name, so I want to see if that is the case here...when you see the word "Falat", how would you pronounce it?
I'd like to ask Koz and Maverick not to answer this cuz they know how to say it.
Baylin
I'd pronounce it falat!
gabimr2
mmm falat.. like its sounds it spanish
Baylin
Polish? As in stuff you shine shoes with??
§pearhead
haha baylin...originating from poland.
Baylin
I knew that!
Honest I did...
§pearhead
i know...funny though. i expected no less from you!
Baylin
So did I pronounce your name right? falat?
§pearhead
how is that phonetically? fa-lat, accent on 2nd part?
Baylin
no its falat! how ever I say it if its wrong I'll blame my accent...
§pearhead
i dun care...cuz the last syllable doesnt have an "a" sound in it at all. fal-it (accent on the first syllable) is how its said
Baylin
so its not falay or flat or falat or fall-at then?
§pearhead
nope, none of those. though i do get those, and fay-let, fay-lat as well
Trickster
Fal-at... if it's polish...
§pearhead
'cept it aint...wish i knew why.
Trickster
Can you give us a hint?
§pearhead
sure...the last syllable doesn't have an "a" sound in it.
Baylin
Dont tell me! It's just 'F' with a silent 'alat' isnt it!
