For myself, 'spatz' is actually German (meaning sparrow) and should be pronounced 'schpots', roughly. However, I am a Texan and gleefully mispronounce it 'spats', like the formal footwear. Back when I was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thespatz, I had several people think it was said like 'thespian', which I got a kick out of hearing.
Some of y'all are easy (katieupsidedown, doitninetimes/![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
drunkoffthestars, dotfic, arsenicjade), but I'm still not sure if I'm saying ignipes correctly. (at least I know how to say Kali right? *g*)
