We do a little trolling

When thinking about it, my inner voice says 'Sen'. But I've said it out loud before and it sounds stupid :P



My Projects:

Impossible Ultraviolet | Impossible UV 2 | Impossible UV 3
Mercenaries 2020 | Mercenaries III
Squad Defense

Legacy Projects (No guarantee of functionality in modern SC):

Pixel Adventure 2 | Space Snipers | Control the Ball

Master has given Dobby a doctorate! Dobby is free!

S-E-N, yet we are all SENners (like Sinners, but i-->e).

I say it as "S-E-N" no real reason why though I have just always said it that way.



None.

SEN, like Ben.
This. Apparently this is also "official" according to payne's google link.

I can understand why people speak it as 3 separate letters but why would you pronounce it Sin? Where's the 'i' coming from? (This is a serious question as my lack of understanding may originate from me not being a native speaker.)

sen, but I might have my own way of saying it, since my prononciation when not directly speaking english is a french quebecer's prononciation, and just for the heck of it : :nude: is'nt a native english speaker?



None.

I say we at SEN, I am a member of S-E-N...I found that when I attribute human characteristics, I make it a word rather than an acronym.

According to New-Guy (my real life friend), he pronounces it "Star Edit." I guess it's the same amount of syllables as S-E-N.

In a related note:

New-Guy: Should I make a thread that complains about me not having a good enough computer to run SC2?

Me: Nah, when you post your specs people will just say "gtfo." I wouldn't be surprised if Excalibur would be the one.

New-Guy: I could ask him to build me a new setup with my 300-dollar budget.

Me: He'd say "gtfo" twice.



Win by luck, lose by skill.

Either Sen or S-E-N. Don't really have a preference.



None.

I said "ES - EE - EN" once because I didn't wanna sound stupid, but I usually say SEN like Ben.

Sen. I've said it aloud when thinking aloud about projects to work on, and I've never once found such a pronunciation to be awkward.



None.

Yup.

And I'm talking with my friends about SEN sometimes and it doesn't feel awkward to call it Sen (like Ben). I also don't know why it should or could...

I personally try to sound it out because it sounds cooler, like cafg. Not sure how to describe the sound. :lol:
edit: I guess like CALFG, just add a G sound at the end of CALFG. Go make a poll. ;)

I was asking the same thing when it was first suggested by anybody (in the shoutbox) that "Sin" was ever said.
