I pronounce it Sholomance but I hear some people call it Skolomance. How do you pronounce it?

Q u o t e:
People who pronounce Skolo are just plain retarded. Look at the root of the word and its origin. It is obviously supposed to be pronounced SHOLO-mance. Get a clue, people. Sigh..
Why do you hate Blizzard? :(

Q u o t e:
Blizzard even pronounces Maraudon wrong. There was an interview at one point where Caydiem pronounced it "MAR-adon," but the root is maraud and the word should be pronounced Ma-RAUD-on.
*shrug* It's just how I've heard it around the office. I'm aware of the root word, but I hear it pronounced "MORE-uh-don".

STRATH-olm is what I've heard.
Though I will call it "Strat" in abbreviation.

Q u o t e:
1: Caydiem hasn't specified whether the actual name creator has stated the pronunciation though. If Caydiem thinks Maraudon is pronounced "mauradon", that's a good indication that the name creator isn't talking to her to correct her. :)
2: All cows look the same to me. :)
The pronunciations are not my own personal opinion but what the developers call them -- and keep in mind that, while I have not personally sat down with Chris Metzen about this subject, the developers work with him intimately when creating these areas and thus speak with him often. I'd imagine he would be pronouncing his own names correctly. ;)

Q u o t e:
But it's not his own name; he didn't invent the word.
If you'll notice, the context in this case was Maraudon, not Scholomance. I'm well aware he didn't invent Scholomance. :P

Q u o t e:
Just because Azure is an actual word doesn't mean it is pronounced as such in a name. Think of all of the roots that have been modified in english words. The logic behind "It must be Azure Gos" simply doesn't fit.
How about the logic that Blizzard pronounces it "Azure-gos"? ;)
