But is OMPL okay? That's a lotta words.



For some reason that reminds me of an acronym for Oompa Loompa.

We actually both have that problem. Suze is pronounced "sooz", and Cheri is short for Cherisse, so it's actually pronounced "sharee". But I gave up on that years ago.

People call me by a variety of abbreviations. I'm Myo, MOS or more usually now, the bunny.

It all works



Why would they call you wabbit?

Status: offline 		My real name is Linea, which is a misspelling of Linnea, a Swedish name derived from LinnaeaBorealis, or the twinflower. I pronounce it lin-AY-ah. With the misspelling, the Norwegian pronunciation rules say that it should be pronounced LIN-eh-ah. Or so I've been told. But I will answer to almost anything, seriously.

See, to me, those are the correct pronunciations for those names spelled the way they are.

Status: offline 		I've been pronouncing it Lin-ay-a too - hey great minds and all that. Still, thanks for clarifying, I like to pronounce peoples' names properly even if it's just in my head. It's one of my quirks. I do it with books too, I went nuts when I was reading the Millenium books because try as I might I couldn't get the Swedish words right....then I gave up.
