When I first played Keen5, I pronounced Shikadi as "SHICK-uh-die," rather than the common "shi-KA-dee." Oops! :)

My name, XkyRauh, is easy. It's like "SkyCow," but with an R instead of the C."

I always thought Xax was pronounced "Zacks." But I also did Orbatrix as "ORB-uh-tricks," not "or-BAY-tricks."

Funny, I always thought it would be pronounced "ECKS-KAY-WHY-ROW". Guess that's just me then. Oh, and

Funny, this is also how I first pronounced it. My sister still insists that this is the correct pronunciation. :P
