I thought Nekros was pronounced Nek-rose for years until the Prime trailer used Nek-ross. I had to rethink my life a bit after that one.

I refuse to view that as cannon. It is pronounced Ne-kros and the "ros" rhymes with "chronos." As in "necrosis." DE will never convince me otherwise.

Yeah, I'm a Vauban main and even I used to pronounce it "VOW-BAN."  Profile video changed that right up for me.

The trailer is wrong too. The "an" at the end don't sound like this

https://translate.google.fr/?um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=fr&client=tw-ob#fr/en/vauban Click the sound icon, you'll ear the "an" with a sound I can't explain in english, but it's how we pronounce it in french :clem:

Agkuza - Akguza, because that sounds manlier. Then I realize that not a lot of people enjoy Archwing anyway, and I felt slightly better.

On another note, I keep hearing one of the Grineer's taunts as "Playground, playground!" Have fun getting that out of your head.

Well the ones I keep mispronounciating are these:

Zhuge - Zouge? Jouge?
Karyst - Karist? Kareest?
Ducats - Doo-cats? Duck-cats?
Titania - Tie-ta-ni-A? TEE-ta-ni-A?
Nitain - Ni-tain? Ni-ta-in?
Synapse - See-napse? Si-napse? Sy(PYramid)-napse?
Glaxion - Kept calling it Galaxion.
Simulor - Sim-u-lor? See-moo-lor?
Cernos - Jernos? Sernos?
Marelok - Ma-relok? Mare-lok?
Sydon - Si-don? Sy-don?
Knux - Ch-nux? Nux?
 Apothic - I always want to call it Aphotic.
Derelict - I always keep saying Der-lict, instead of Dere-lict

However I know how to pronounce these:

Vauban - Voh-bann
Nezha - Ne-ja
Caustacyst - Caust-a-cyst (Caust as in Caustic and cyst as in Cyst)

I used to call Valkyr Valkyrie for the longest time till I realized it was missing letters.

I keep mixing up Rakta and Ratka quite often. IDK how it's supposed to be and don't care really as I'll call Vauban: "Vaw Bawn." And if Mesa isn't "Me-Sah" like the biscuit before me mentioned then oh well, that's what I call her too. I also like Scooby "Doo-cats" more than "Duck-cats" or whatever and cringed when I first heard it. :P

Can't really think of anything other than those.

The dev's use American/Canadian pronunciation while I use British.... so take your pick really lol

Same as this.

 

Anything that has an American pronunciation is British when I say it.

 

I'm really just hoping they don't bring out a frame called aluminium because if you are British and you hear an American say it, it's like nails down a chalk board.
