I've been saying Lan's last name wrong all this time! How horrid. Please don't hurt me, Jan.

[Kaitlin 22]

I can't believe I actually have been saying it correctly.

 

How'd you say it, Marie?

 

*still says SEE-chan -completely leaving out the "n"- instead of Shawn-chan, and tame*

[Marie 73]

I said Man-drag-or-an. I still like the way I said it better! Although, I suppose said fast enough you couldn't tell I was saying it wrong.

[Kaitlin 22]

That's not much of a change.

[Marie 73]

 

You don't understand! I had little catch phrases and everything based on that pronouncation!

 

...

 

Yeah I'm going to shut up now.

[Kaitlin 22]

Awwe! Don't think about the bad blog. RJ is obviously insane for suggesting the name is any different. He compares himself to a harley in a previous one. Proof!

I pretty much said it the correct way. As for the seanchan, was'nt the pronounciations given with the glossary ??

[Kaitlin 22]

Yeah, a lot of the pronounciations were.

For a moment, I thought Marie meant she was pronouncing Lan as Lane or something!! I used to say, still say, Man-dra-GORE-an, and not -ahn. Is that a localized accent thing?!

 

As for Siuan, I thought it was Shwan, nos Swan!!! As in 'sh' in the beginning! Seanchan I'd got right because it reminds me of the name Sean!

 

*thinks about doing a pronunciation guide in her book*

[Marie 73]

I used to say Siuan like Sean. I still have issues with it.

 

What's funny is, I call people named Sean, Siuan. I'm just confused.

Robert Jordan is nuts. We were all right all along We knew that!
