To clear things up, I have learned that Huinesoron is pronounced "HWEEN-ay-SORE-on."

And about me...

1. My username is made up of English words, so I’m pretty sure you’d know how to pronounce it. And “Twistey” is pronounced how it’s spelled, or at least how the misspelling “Twisty” is spelled.
2. I’m a pasty, skinny white girl, 5’7” and a half, with brown hair about chin length and green eyes with glasses. This time of year, you can usually find me wearing a T-shirt and jeans or comfy pants, with a watch on my left wrist, a bracelet on my right, and a navy blue hooded jacket over it all, but my “official” outfit with regards to how I draw myself consists of a black shirt with a minimalist-style luna moth on it, jeans, tennis shoes, and a grey jacket over it all. You can also put me in a black floor-length robe with thin red and gold trim on the sleeves (in that order from the ends), coupled with a long red preacher-scarf-thing (with some occult symbol on the ends) and a talisman with a large red jewel in the center. This odd, cultist-y ensemble is for reasons I shall explain further in point 3.
3. I’m the PPC’s resident wild card, and I always have been. I found the PPC by chance, I joined on an impulse without any prior research whatsoever, and I’ve been off-and-on falling down the metaphorical stairs and having to deal with the consequences ever since. As such, a lot of the jokes I make about myself on the Board involve me doing things that either are outright stupid or leave everyone scratching their heads. Also, with regards to the virtual persona I’ve created on the Board, thanks to the power of badfic, I’m mostly human but partially a decoy (from Wolfenstein 3D - ask me if you want to know more about them, including their canonical name). So you can make fire jokes, you can make mannequin/puppet jokes, you can make occult jokes, and you can make "unable to open doors" jokes. Finally, I also love anything glowy and sci-fi, or that otherwise looks cool, and as I was raised on music, I love putting music in the background of things.

-Twistey

1) "DELL-ta JU-lee-Ett". Emphasis on the first word can flip to an exasperated "dell-TAAAAAA" if necessary.

I... really was hoping people would take it in the more mathematical reading of "Δ Juliette" and shorten it from there to "Juliette", but such was not to be.

2) Tallish, slender-ish, has dark hair but keeps ending up dying it lighter. Wears flannel and hiking boots, but in a femme way. There's a whole video, if you're okay with corporate PR blogs

3) In no particular order- I'm an engineer, a nerd, used the internet before the invention of HTML (Dialing into the library server with telnet!), a currently-grounded aerialist, and occasionally rather unhappy about the lack of left-handed player characters in video games.

1) Haye neh Sauron.
2) Tall yet stocky male, late teens. Browm hair cut fairly short, brown eyes with grayish rims around the irises. Wears glasses with rectangular lenses. Favors cargo pants, Large brown birthmark about two or so inches across just above left knee. Stubble on face. Large-ish hands.
3) THE CHICKENQUISITON HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF YOUR HERESY.

1. "Ypsi" is pronounced "ip-see." "Fang" is just pronounced "fang."
   
   2. I'm chubby, short, and white, with hazel eyes and fluffy, blue-black hair. My fashion sense can best be described as "somewhere between emo, punk, and nerd," which is also a good descriptor of me in general, really.
   
   3. Uh... I'm associated with necromancy, I guess? It seems to be a (semi-intentional) running theme with me, at any rate.

1. Neh-SHO-mah (Last syllable is basically a schwa, and the first one tends that way, too. It is indeed quite a common sound in English.)
   
   2. I'll do you one better: recent-ish photos from the 2014 Chicago PPC Gathering. Also featuring Phobos and Irish Samurai.
   
   But, if you can't access Photobucket (which I really need to leave anyway): 5'5" white woman, 33 (but people keep asking me if I'm in school), skinny, dark brown eyes and glasses, a whole bunch of short, straight, dark brown hair (I get it cut once in a Rachel Maddow-ish style in the summer and let it grow out over the year; it ends up sweeping back over my ears), kinda heavy eyebrows, kinda pointy nose, more leg and less torso than is sensible for my height.
   
   I try to wear flattering shirts ("blouses" if we must) these days, for work and because I like it. I find interesting things in various colors and patterns in resale stores. Tend to favor blues and reds, but I can go for just about any color except yellow, bright orange, or bright/too-yellow green, since they can make my skin look greenish or jaundiced. Usually pants, often grey or black, but sometimes a long skirt; my usuals are khaki, dark olive green, and blue.
   
   On my left hand, a white-gold engagement ring with a white- and rose-gold wedding ring (visible here). On my left wrist, a sterling silver cuff bracelet inscribed with "not all who wander are lost." (Serious Tolkien buffs will note the missing word "those" between "all" and "who.") I also often wear a necklace. My default is a little silver dragon curled around a green cut-glass stone (this guy).
   
   3. I dunno. You'll just have to get to know me better and figure it out. {= P

1. My username is easy to pronounce, not much to say there.
   
   2. Appearance: Average height, Caucasian, brown hair, and blue eyes, borderline overweight. I also wear glasses and prefer dressing casual in jeans and geeky t-shirts. I never go anywhere without my iPod, due to having something of a YouTube addiction. An all-around geek, basically.
   
   3. Not sure if I have anything meme-worthy, so I'll just go with this: I am not a people person - being shown what people are capable of at a young age kinda messed me up a bit - so I'm rather cynical also somewhat OCD (possibly issue to being Autistic) and borderline paranoid. I tend to prefer fiction to reality and have a whole bunch of weird interests and opinions, which may or may not be contradictory.
   
   So yeah, that's me in a nutshell.

#How do you say a name like Huinesoron?
#How do you wrap your head 'round all those vowels?
#Here's how to pronounce the elvish 'Huinesoron' -
#A 'Hween' and an 'eh', a 'SORE' then an 'on', that's how!#

Yes, as at least a couple of said, 'hween-eh/ey-SORE-on' is about right. But honestly I mostly pronounce it 'aitch-ess' too. ^~

2/
#Tall and proud and wond'rous fair
#The people of the Dark and Air
#Hold high the iron that they fear
#When the Fair Folk come, don't let them near#

... no?

All right, all right... male, average height, fairly skinny, brown hair with a touch of grey (think Reed Richards - or at least, I always think Reed Richards). Generally a bit of a mess; I tried having a fashion sense once, but it didn't agree with me.

I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of pointy ears.

3/
Well... the other description of me is 'all of that, but with lab coat, goggles, and manic grin', because I'm a professional analytical chemist. ^^ (Actually these days I'm a professional paperwork chemist and lab supervisor, but I still put the coat on quite a lot. And the grin.)

hS

Heen-ah-so-ron. Swear to God I have no idea how my brain got there.

1) Exactly how you'd expect: Ay-See. I had a different name when I joined, but we do not speak of such dark matters. :P (Seriously, it sucked.)

2) 5' 5", male. Stocky and muscular, grayish-brown hair (heh, if you think going gray in your 30s is bad, Hellga, try going gray at 15), blue/green/gray eyes, stubbly mustache. Wears baggy shirts with either stripes or fandom things on them, and dull-colored pants/shorts.

3) I mean, I'm extremely stereotypical, so that might help with memes? I embody stereotypes such as 'socially awkward homeschooler,' 'gay dude who loves chick flicks and YA romance,' 'comic-book-reading nerd,' 'crazy Star Wars fan,' 'PPC member who was refused Permission and is too scared to try again,' and so on, in that vein.

1) Hellga is pronounced Anna. Yeah. Though back in the last millennium when internet was young and I didn't use my real name anywhere online, it was HELL-gah.

2) Tall (5'10"), reasonably in-shape woman with eggplant-colored shoulder-length hair (going gray in my 30s kind of sucks, but if I have to color it, I might as well color it something fun) and brown eyes behind pink-rimmed glasses.

3) Most people think I am kind and friendly when they look at me. This is merely part of my job. I am actually very evil (but too lazy to actually do anything evil... other than increasing entropy of the universe, of course). Oh, and I speak English with an accent that I always ask people to guess, if they do ask me where I am from. :)

But I'd pronounce it Hwein-so-run. That's probably wrong, which is why I usually just call him hS when I'm talking.

As for how to pronounce MY name, it's long documented that, as a result of my upbringing reading, I actually pronounce it wrong. I pronounce my name Thoth (exactly how it's spelled, approximately "Thawth", in my accent). But more correct pronounciations approximate "Thothe", "Toth" or "Tote". I denied this for a while, but it's true. God of knowledge, I am not.

Physically, I'm... hmm. Chubby, physically unfit, short-ish brown hair, brown, something on my face that I'm trying to keep from being a neckbeard (with... some success), hair all over me (seriously, lots of hair. Not more than anyone else I've ever met or anything, but...), and I'm typically dressed in whatever came out of my wardrobe first, in the kind of total disregard for fashion that can only exist out of habit, with a general messiness and disorder around me to match. Rarely seen without a book and/or headphones.

I'm a programmer-y type, avid writer, 40k obsessed, and kinda lazy. I also firmly believe that the best single-player and multiplayer shooters ever were Doom (1993) and Quake 3 Arena respectively. Half-Life is good too, but... different.

How to pronounce "Huinesoron": learn Elvish.

1. I doubt anyone is confused by mine, but it's "lit" as in "literature," not pronounced like "light." For the record, I've used this name since long before "lit" became internet vernacular in the last couple of years.

2. 5'7". Brown hair that is officially buzz cut low, but I let it grow out to roughly bowl cut length before I buzz it again, because it's a question of convenience (not spending time on my hair) rather than appearance. Um, white boy, thirty-two years old. Above-average muscular arms and legs, but shapeless blobby torso. Eyes that look blue or greenish depending on what clothes colors I'm wearing. Scar on white cheek from a toddler-era surgery. Always clean-shaven when in public. Need thick-framed glasses for distance vision. Tiny teenager hands with short fingers. Usually wear cargo shorts and collared shirts. Prefer flip-flops over tennis shoes, but open-toed shoes aren't allowed at work. Forego socks early in morning so they don't get wet spraying down exhibit rooms. Terrible at describing appearances.

3. Not really sure what's being looked for here? I feel a desperate need for stories, to the point where I pretty much call consuming fiction "feeding" in my mind any more. Don't like people, and feel U.S. society teaches people too much to obsess over feeling fun and happy all the time, when our time is best spent taking care of the planet so our species can endure for forever. Obsessed with the idea that only things that last forever matter, and put as much of my time as possible into workaholism because the work I put into the world is the only part of me that will last forever. Also secretly desperate to become immortal somehow. Incapable of sitting still and just relaxing/thinking, always need some form of "assignment" to occupy my brain.

—doctorlit doesn't know where to go from here

Snowy's close to correct, but I've been under the assumption that it was "Hween-ay-sore-on".

(hS is going to come back to the Board tomorrow and laugh at us, I can already tell. XD)

So...

1. Iximaz! It's Ix-ih-maz, with the last bit pronounced like razz berry. ;)

2. Um... tall for a girl, short for a guy, underweight, brown hair (currently blond on the top but I'm growing it out), high cheekbones, and the very Sueish green-with-a-gold-ring-around-the-pupils eyes. Lots of piercings and geeky tattoos. I also have two very large pink scars across my now-flat chest. :)

Denim coat, black T-shirt, jeans, and black Converse every day. Sometimes I add a maroon zip-up hoodie if it's cold outside. I am not very varied in my clothing.

3. Quack.

Has the pronunciation of names been a difficulty for so long?
Because that's a long time (A previous thread tells me he's been here for 15 years, wow.)

Well, if you wish to know; brown/dirty blond hair, brown eyes, glasses, mildly tan, mid height. Whatever's one hand is what I wear.

And I suppose your the resident meme maestro?

-Shade

1.It’s pronounced exactly as you’d expect.

2. Nothing like you’d expect a Snowblaze to look! Teenage girl, thick brown hair, taller than average for my age. Usually wears some shade of blue or purple. Or, if that’s too boring, make it up!

3. Maths jokes and obscure Middle-earth references are two things I’m a fan of, if it helps.

1. My username isn't pronounced weirdly, so I'll say this instead: if it's too clunky "Moons" tends to be the easiest part to make nicknames out of.
   2. Teenage girl. Average height, very skinny, pale-ish. Shoulderblade-length wavy (and usually pretty messy) copper hair. Bangs. Green eyes, glasses. I have a sharpie tattoo on the inside of my left wrist (a semicolon with the name TAYA written under it) and make an active effort to never cover it unless it's cold enough to be wearing gloves. I usually wear a chaplet of blue glass beads with a Celtic knot pendant at the back, and a short beaded strand finished with a wings pendant hanging from that. I like shawls and wear them even in the summer.
   3. Whenever someone uses "god" as part of an exclamation, I'm more likely than not to respond with "yeah, but which god?" I'm very picky about music and get kind of defensive about my tastes in it. My mental health is a train wreck and I make no secret of that fact.

God, this has plagued so many people and I've never really bothered to establish this.
1. Max eh well. Not an emphasized eh, like the stereotypical Canadian Eh, but sort of like the 'u' in ugh.
2. Tall. Can't remember my exact height right now, but 6 ft plus. Currently sporting bleached blond hair, with lack roots. Blue eyes. Paler than Dracula skin. (I should probably go outside more.)
3. "pm me for nsfw memes"

But every time I try I get it wrong in increasingly ridiculous ways. I think my last attempt came out as something like "Hew-sar-een-ian". I just refer to him as hS if I can.

1. My username is pronounced "Albin", naturally.
2. I'm blonde and white and short and female and wear almost exclusively black clothing.
3. I don't exactly know which parts of myself are meme-worthy. I once bought a life-sized cardboard cutout of Anakin Skywalker because someone told me I wasn't allowed to like him as a character? It was pretty glorious. She said that and then a few minutes later I just texted her a picture of my order confirmation with no further explanation.

Nobody tells me what I'm allowed to like.

As for me...

1. It's just the letters! ;)
2. 5'3'', dark brown hair&eyes, medium build. Nothing particularly notable (except maybe my forehead? Also I'm Autistic, and while I'd hardly believe any stereotypes stemming from that, I definitely get a different 'feel' about myself from looking at photos than what I get looking at photos of neurotypical people.
3. ???? My wit has only sharpened in the time I've known this board. "All your memes are belong to me" maybe?
