This is the worst.

Neither one of those is pronounced right. The French one is HILARIOUS.

Edit: Apparently the audio button is working better multiple years later, seems to pronounce it right now.

Google translate's latvian  pronounce of "jee" is best I could find
http://translate.google.com/#en/lv/jee
Google's Finnish sounds bit weird but it is close
http://translate.google.com/#en/fi/jee

 "Jay-Three-Three" is ok too 
 "Jay-Thirty-Three" is just wrong :D

i doubt you'll ever see my name in a shoutcast, but it's pretty much how it looks - at least that's what I would have thought but have heard people mis-pronounce it in the past.

Easiest way to remember is to just say "nor" and then "malice". 'mal' for short. 'normal malice' for long. 'normal' also works. But really I'm too noob to be in a shout-cast-worthy game unless I'm subbing as a joke or something, so here's to useless information!

heh. yeah, it was inspired by a song called 'everyone hates everyone' by Superjoint ritual. I don't particularly care for the song, or the band even, but the song name struck a chord..

Bumping this since we have so many new players for me to mispronounce their names.

https://translate.google.com/#lv/en/Tleilaxu this one is the closest to how I imagine you'd pronounce it.
