WoW Insider Show Episode 36: MEH-lay

by Mike Schramm May 6th 2008 at 3:30PM

Both Duncor and John "BigBearButt" Patricelli were on the podcast with me last Saturday, and despite my being a bit behind (Liberty City claimed most of my time last week), the show went really well.

We chatted a lot about the mounts of Warcraft, including why you can't ride most of the bug mounts outside of AQ.
We talked about how to make raiding faster
We hit on a number of player events, including John's post about those crazy Druids in Nagrand, and our own It Came From the Blog fun
We talked about what we're looking forward to in Wrath of the Lich King (I can't wait for the five man instances)
And we answered lots of emails -- a few more jokes, a little advice, some good thoughts about Trinkets (and maybe putting an extra inventory slot in there), player housing, and lots of making fun of Duncor for quitting the game.
And we figured out the real pronunciation of melee -- here it is.

Definitely give it a listen -- there's a lot of good stuff in there. As usual, the show is available over on WoW Radio, or in iTunes if you'd rather get it that way.

And here's a special announcement: This coming week on the WoW Insider Show (which will be live on WoW Radio at 3:30pm EST on May 10th), we'll have a special Mother's Day edition of the podcast. Not only will we have Robin Torres (who is herself a mother) on with Turpster and I, but both Amanda Dean and her mother will be live on the show as well. Moms and WoW -- next week on the WoW Insider Show.

I see - Meh-lay

After clicking on the sound button to hear it on your linked page it sounds like may-lay, not meh-lay.

As far as I know Brit pronunciation is meh-lay, and American is may-lay. The opposite way around to shaman, shay-man (Brit), and shah-man (American).

I think the shayman/shahman thing is where you're from in the U.S. I say shay-man. I also say may-lay though, so maybe I just like the "ay", eh?

I say may-lay, shah-man and High-jall.

LOL

Actually, I took a Vietnam class and it's pronounced "mee-lie". Also, pretty sure it's pronounced like "shom men".

Uhh, melee wasn't much to dispute--you Google and you're good. But made-up names are a more tricky situation...

For instance, what is the official pronunciation of "Hyjal"?

Honestly, I want to call it "High-all", but hear it commonly referred to as "high-jill" or "high-jull".
