What user names do you mispronounce in your head?
I see the user name AlCzervik and pronounce it "Al Cevczek"

It also took me the longest time to figure out flvegan meant "Florida Vegan".
I pronounce it "Fleve-again" and assumed it was a reference to Fleegle from the Banana Splits

I'm pretty sure I'm pronouncing XemaSab correctly, but for some reason that name makes me think of sub sandwiches.

27. Xipe Totec, and madinmaryland.
My brain turns them into "Xipec Kotec" and "made in maryland". I know there's a couple others, but I can't think of them now. Oh, and Midlo is Mildo for me too.

:P

But seriously you pronounce it Zee-Ma Sob ? I always said it

the French way (Yep,I'm French-Can.)

I'll try my best: Kss-hey-Mah-Saab. Yikes! Really far from

the real pronunciation. :)

What does it mean BTW ?

Thanks for letting me know it's Florida Vegan. How could I not know that, considering he's in Florida and he's a vegan.
