How to pronounce my name

AntiVisual · 07-11-2005, 05:04 PM

Ok, I used to go by a gamer tag of Anti_Visual for about 10 years, but I have changed it to an acronym for a site I run and for something used on message boards I post on.

It is pronounced HA-TALL-TUH

I get people that try to figure it out everytime I play, so now you guys get it. It is an acronym standing for

hello and welcome to a long time ago

Check out the urban dictionary for the definitions and example of uses:

Yeah....if I'm ever in a squad with ya, expect to be called H or maybe Ha.

AntiVisual · 07-11-2005, 05:19 PM

Thats fine, most people just call me haw. Like hee haw. That is fine too.

John CANavar · 07-11-2005, 11:03 PM

I will remember that. My failed attempt last night was because of the tight situation, it was raining bomb from the skies, armor coming from north, infantry south, ...

take home lesson is never try to pronounce your buddy names in mayhem ...

damn kubra dam !

This sounds like a good thread for players with odd looking/sounding names to explain how it is pronounced. There are definitely some players where I have to pause to think of how to pronounce the name.

That's when you quickly think of a nick and go with it.

That's true. I'd still like to know how to properly pronounce some names to get to know the player better.

Lemme hijack this thread real fast...

Call me B. Not Sergeant. B. Easy fun and short. B B B B B B B B B. B to da B in da B yo B. See? That is fun eh?

Yeah, we can stretch this thread out, like Sarc says.

Mah-TEH-o.
Not Ma-Di-o, or Ma-Ti-O.

The Spanish version of Matthew, my middle name.

Bommando is a bit long for most people in a firefight. It's my real name Bodog (of Hungarian origin) combined with Commando.

Easier to use "Bo" or "Bom" if you prefer.

Gape - in - ate - err

but seriously though, it's usually the Gape part. Not Gap. It's an old army nick from my M60 days. My last name is Gapen (Gape - in). Gape is fine, or anything else you want to call me. I'm easy. And yes, I've heard them all =)

Most people get it right, so it's not a biggie.

See thats easy to say. I shall be on server #1 tonight somewhere I am sure.

Just a little warning to everyone who plays with me. I like to pull things like the Leroy Jenkin's videos. I like to get a little crazy sometimes.
