Can I just say: this is not like fantasy names, where you can come up with your own pronunciation and people will say, 'Huh, I guess I can see where you got that from.' This is a standard word with a standard pronunciation, and those of you who don't pronounce it 'shee' are getting it wrong.

Sorry, rant over.


I will now forever refer to the Sidhe as boobookittyfuck just to piss you off :D


When you're doing it out of spite, I WIN! Muhahaha! :D


Spite is in MBOTF. Boobookittyfucks are from Dresden Files, which is the topic of the thread. Don't cross universes, Ray!

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

I guess I pronounce it like 'Side' but with a... I don't know, very soft H sound before the D. Why before the D? Because that is where it feels like it goes.

Which I guess would make it Sy-hd. The H is just a partial breath I guess? I SPEAK ENGLISH THAT DOESN'T USE SOUNDS LIKE THAT, OK?

Such a benign query too! It may be correct to pronounce it as shee, but I just can't read it like that. I'll go with Seethee, as i can't help but read it that way.
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

So do you pronounce the word 'sure' as soo-ray?

No, but sure is an English word, and Sidhe is a Gaelic word.

That being said, despite proper pronunciation, I think Sid-hay sounds cooler than Shee. Shee just sounds stupid. Who cares if that's the proper pronunciation. I'm not Gaelic.
