    Chimera, Chitin, and even Drow are a few that I got wrong because I read them in a book first.

        Is it Drizt* or Drist*? It confuses me to this day.

      Drow will always be pronounced drow to me, never draouuu or whatever it is. Im ok with the proper chimera, but also yea i was wrong for awhile. And it was today that I learned i have been mispronouncing chitin for over a decade in my head.

      The funniest for me will always be Hermione. (Obligitory never spend money on potter stuff, fuck that terf asshole). But it was in one of the later books, when we meet Hagrids brother, that I realized I was saying it wrong. Harids giant brother prounced it the way I had been reading it in my head for years. I thought she was Herm o nin e, her my o knee

        I read the word long before I heard it in school. I said it kind of like it is spelled “Chit” - “In”.

      It stats with ch, I learnt ch words in school. I was very good at them. It is not my fault if someone else can’t manage it, that is how you say it!

          Chitin can be somewhat dialect dependent kinda like solder, sometimes it’s pronounced correctly as soder sometimes they are wrong and pronounce it solder.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
