Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide


OK, here's the deal: It's pronounced "Zikes'mn", not "Zakes-man" (accent on the first syllable with a long "i" and silent "a", the second syllable with a schwa "a"). Preferred 'nick-username' is Zaikes (rhymes with 'yikes').

Anybody else out there with a username having ambiguous/obscure correct pronunciation (you know who you are), here's your big chance to set us all straight!

Dautch - your response reminds me of a guitar player from Milwaukee named Greg Koch. Most people want to pronounce his name "cock". His record label is "Rhymes With Chalk Records".

My username "jdombrow" is derived from "Jim Dombrowski" and shows little imagination. It's difficult to spell phonetically, but when pronounced properly it sounds like my grandfather coughing up phlegm in the morning.

Actually, it's pronounced just like it's spelled:
Dom-BROW-ski
