What are some Runescape city/item/monster names you've been mispronouncing? I could never get Ardougne right. I've read how it's pronounced, but it never sticks in my mind.

I always used to think Ardougne was prounounced as spelt.. Ar-doug-ne not Ar-doyne.
Oh and I always used to accidentally swap the second 'a' and the 'm' around in Karamja.. so it was Karmaja instead.

Those are the only two really.

I had problems with Karamja as well. I would call it Karaj-ima or something.

Heh I have problems with Tzharr or however you spell it. Sounds to me like Tiz-harr though I'm still not sure. Also zamorak and saradomin, some people say them differently and I have no idea which pronounciation is right. :S And that's about it so far.

I used to say pretty much everything wrong. Ardouge is the obvious. I though Karamja was Kamjara. Al Karihd was Al Kahidrid. I also got Saradomin and Zamorak wrong. It wasnt til I started listening to the update and watching some machinima did I get them all right.

You know, I also never really say these enough in real-life to even realize what I might be saying wrong.

I've always pronounced Ardougne as "ar-drone". Don't ask me why- it's just a habit I've never got out of. I even know the correct pronunciation, I'm just stuck in my stubborn ways...

I don't say them out loud either, just in my head.

I've always pronounced Varrock as "Vuh-rock", not "Vair-rick"

It's not as bad as what I've heard. I've heard "Sann-eye-fiss" instead if the obvious "Canifis."

I don't know why that reminded me of Pictionary.

I always pronounced Ardougne "are-doon". I still do whenever I say it even though I think it is "are-doyen".
Also, for like 5 years I pronounced Karamja with the m and j swapped = "Kuh-rawj-muh"

There he lay now, sick, miserable, filled with ill-will towards himself; full of hatred for the impulses toward life, full of suspicion of all that was still strong and happy.

Lol spelling it correctly would be useful too =P. I don't know if its right but I pronounce Al-Kharid as E;=Carrid. Sounds a bit weird to me.

I would always call Karamja ka-ra-ja-ma lol.

That's all that I can think of.
