Alanthreonus Phillipe Straphachar. How do you say his name exactly? I want to be able to say the name, but that first and last name sounds a bit iffy in the way I pronounce it. This might have already been talked about before, because as we all know everyone loves Alan.

Imagine it with a very upper class English accent.

This topic is stupid. It should be destroyed with the fire of 1000 supernovas and with the swords of 1000 unwashed Arabs, repeatedly, until it dissipates into an infinite speck of nothingness and then crapped out by a donkey.

I think it's pronounced Alan-thray-own-us Feel-ip* Strafa**-chaar***
* quick hard ipp, like sip and a silent e
** ph = f, simple logic.
*** long aaaa, like the a's the dentist makes you say.

That was the whole point. How could you deny the innovation of the swords of 1000 unwashed Arabs?
Anywho, I think it is prounounced Al-an-three-oh-nus Fee-leep Strafa-chaar.

Basically, you're saying becuase it's the way you pronounce it, it must be the 100% absolutely correctest (yes I know correctest is not a word) pronounciation ever? Hmm, I predict another pronounciation argument.

I believe it is pronounced:
A 'lan three 'oe nus, fi 'lee pay, 'Strap a car
at least that's now I say it.
