How do you pronounce Etteilla?

[April]

I tell ya...

It went well, and everyone mostly just found it funny that it was his name backwards. I said Eh-TEA-ya and nobody scolded me. Then I realized there were other names I was unsure about. Eliphas Levi (leh-vee which is what I went with or LEE-veye like jeans?) and Court de Gebelin. And I say Crowley like Owl which I've been told many times is wrong but it doesn't seem to stick.

Ah well... Lillie, I like your advice, I ain't afraid-a no ghosts. And I'm happy to hear that I wasn't the only one who was unsure and had never said it out loud.

Thanks everyone! When I couldn't find it I knew the ATF would save the day.

P.S. TAY-ro or te-RO?

Certain decks might rebel ...

Oh boy, this reminds me of the thread how do you pronounce THOTH.

There's Toth (short o ), Toth (long o), Thoth (long and short o's with "th" at beginning and end, lol


Yippee skippee!!!! Ain't the english language fun?

And speaking of fun,...reminds me of something they very rarely teach and are now bringing back,....phonics.

Remember that stuff????

Voff.

I say Voff.

No, really, I speak weird.
I speak like uneducated scum. It lulls people into a false sense of security.
Then I blast them with the full force of my single digit IQ.
