The Question of the Day is a way to facilitate community discussion to help members ponder the unanswered questions of the world that are somehow relating to the hobby. Questions are many times open ended and up to interpretation. Feel free to post your thoughts in as much or as little detail as you’d like.
Helpful Considerations may or may not help some people focus their answer, these are blurred to not bother those who have their own ideas.
Would I be so wrong to pronounce e-series as eh-series? To say mmmmCharizard Eh-cks instead of mega charizard ee ex? I think it could work if you were new to reading.
Not mine. Merely a question. I overheard a kid playing and they pronounced it as Pikachu ehx with a soft vowel sound and my need for being correct as a nerd was about to go into overdrive on this kid but i couldnt find a reason on why they would be incorrect so i bring it to the discussion. Is there anything out there that pronounces it as separate letter sounds for each mechanic, has anyone else considered or heard this?
I personally pronounce the abbreviations in the card names (in my head) as:
M = mega
ex/EX = ex
GX = jee ex
e-Series = e series (where ‘e’ is basically the default English pronunciation of the letter in the alphabet, similar to the pronunciation of ‘ie’ in Dutch)
I heard someone say “wahttsee” for the first time about a year ago and thought it was a joke, like some users say hahbee on here. No idea people pronounced it that way. Its always wizard of the coast for me or wizards for short.
