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!

(And the rest of you stop snickering :-)

Interesting thread, and much needed! Thanks a lot!!!

I pronounce my username trel - ja, like ja rule, not trel - ha ala a Spanish j.

And, while people are often curious, it has no mystical meaning or representation, it's simply the way a company of mine gave out e - mail addresses - first four letters of your last name, followed by first initial, followed by middle initial if applicable.
