Apparently I won a prize that I didn't know about for 5 months and I was checking RU forum few weeks ago around May 10th to give my upvotes for the Reticle contest.

The Russian Wikipedia calls Waspite "Уорспайт" which transliterates to Uorspayt (which, when properly spoken, matches the English pronunciation very well).

The Russian Wikipedia calls Waspite "Уорспайт" which transliterates to Uorspayt (which, when properly spoken, matches the English pronunciation very well). Варспайт is Warspite (phonetic into cyrillic alphabet). Edit: well, almost phonetic - it's more into how people usually pronounce it over there than the actual pronunciation in English.

Edit: well, almost phonetic - it's more into how people usually pronounce it over there than the actual pronunciation in English. Well just to make sure we're on the same page, вар- rhymes with 'car' while уор- sounds like 'wore'. At least provided we can agree on how 'car' and 'wore' are pronounced—my perspective is more or less from a mainstream North American accent with a good share of Canadian raising. I don't think I commit /æ/ tensing, but maybe I do? Hmm. This is probably too much depth for an off-topic tangent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I commit /æ/ tensing, but maybe I do? Hmm. This is probably too much depth for an off-topic tangent. Yes, pretty much. The whole thing is kind of similar to pronunciation of IJN ship names in English (i.e. Kongo / Kongou) - people change pronunciation so that it rolls off the tongue easier and common spelling follows that. In quite a few cases the change is considerable for no other reason than "it's easier to say it this way". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really cool to see the cross-region work done here, especially after seeing so much unwillingness to migrate accounts and the like There was no contest. But there is an Official Modpack on the RU forum that included my Rainbow crosshair long ago when the modpack first appeared. Official modpack link But I didn't think much about it to much since I didn't mind, but I didn't know they were giving out prizes for being in the Official modpack. So apparently they sent a massage to me on the wrong forum, it almost like they didn't know what server I was on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,513 atPrick__ Members 16,315 posts 12,285 battles Report post #21 Posted June 1, 2016 I used the rainbow cross hairs when I first started playing(not into MLP but I didn't care), I liked using the colors to help me lead ships with timing and what not. Glad you got something out of a mod that I'm sure many people used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should have, but spelling (and pronouncing) words like warcraft, warlock, warspite, etc. with "Вар" is so common that it wouldn't surprise me if this stuff made its way into the dictionary by now.
