We all know that Morrowind includes many long and hard to pronounce names of people and places. So my question is, do you intentionally or accidentally call things by the wrong name for amusement or out of frustration?
For instance, I have called:
Caius, Caiphas
Nerevarrine, Never-never-ine
Hortator, Potato
and Tel Branora, Tel Granola
Please tell me I'm not the only one.

On these forums I use Nectarine for Nerevarine (I think it originated with wesay but I might be wrong there).
In game I tend not to talk to myself but such words as I use are of the kind that would not be permitted on these forums. In mild terms it might translate into 'oh dear, what a pity, here is another one of those troublesome cliff racers, I do wish they would go away'. I can convey this adequately with one or two words. They are not funny nicknames though.
On the odd occasions there are two of us playing I have been known to refer to Golden Stains (what's left after we have caramalised them) and wigged twiglets but I can't think of any more.

I still dont know how to pronouce "Redoran". How do you pronounce it? You use a french accent or just plain english?

I believe it is the RED that is emphasised, as opposed to DOR...so I guess it is a bit of a French accent.

Hlaalu. How is the "aa" pronounced? Is is AY, or AH, or what?
Daedra. Is is DAY-dra, or DIE-dra?
Oh, yeah, and each and every of those ludicrously named Daedric shrines.
And don't get me started on those crazy Dunmer names.

Someone remembers that? Wow... I'm speechless. It was a fun fight of course, until Switch threatened to lock the thread...

(oh yeah, it wasnt me.. I was just there...)

Well, to confuse my parents I often say I'm the Nectarine, grand Implosion of Vanguardland...
And until recently I called Hasphat Antoblis Hazmat Asphault...

Not sure about Hlaalu, (I say it hl-AH-lu), but for Daedra it is d-AY-Eh-dra

I always called Hla Oad, Hail Oad. I also call Dagon Fel, Dragon Fel. I always call Tel Branora, Tel Brandora (probably because or Sadrith Mora and its "d"). Also the man from the begining of the main quest named Caius, i call him Casus.

Curiously enough, all the names of Daedric shrines are actually ancient Assirian names. Even Zainab is an Assyrian name.
Some of the more complex Dunmer names (mostly ashlanders) are Assyrian too.
