Guild Wars 2

Just a small point. In the Human Story, Kessex Hills, Triskell Quay is pronounced Triskall “Kway” instead of Triskall “Key”. Not too bothered but worth a mention maybe.

American made game, American voice acting. This was mentioned before, that is the way it is pronounced and they won’t be changing it. At least that was the gist I got from reading the other topic on this point.

Both are correct pronunciations, sometimes in game you will see the same name or word pronounced differently by different characters. While I am guessing this was likely due to the voice actors themselves and not intended it actually suits better from my view making it more realistic. Never heard of the potato/tomato pronunciation arguments?

Thanks. Very useful for me to know. I am a teacher of english as a foreign language here in Spain, I know most pronunciation differences but not this one. Consider me “taught”

Actually, only the Kee sounding pronunciation is correct. The Kway pronunciation is an incorrect pronunciation that has been colloquialised in only certain parts of the US.

The issue I have with this, is that the character is speaking with an English accent. If it’s said with the accent, even if it’s a faked one, then the pronunciation would have to match the accent. No English person (nor Australasian for that matter) worth their salt would ever incorrectly pronounce that word.

If you use the accent, you have to use the pronunciation. Simple as that.
