I'm no dictionary but I think you can pronounce Holmes correctly now. You illiterate bastard.
Oh, and Mr(mister).
But I suspect that you guys already knew that.

Funny thing is, I've only ever hear "Holmes" pronounced as "Homes" as in "Yo wazzup homes, straight-grit-grit shank packing heat (and whatever else gangsters say to greet one another)"

I always thought the L was silent anyways. But you're not exactly saying Homes either.

I certainly hope that it isn't pronounced "homes" Just saying that word reminds me of mexicans......... But I'm not racist

Ahhh, so instead of being the intellectually superiour (yet lazy) brother, you are the the one of slightly lesser intelligence who has no problem with physical work.

Gotcha ^_~

Seriously though, I love the Sherlock novels.

I am in love with what novels I have read, but I really need to read more of them.

I meant homes as in the amount of homes you have. Like me, I can say I have 2 homes. My actual home with my actual father. And my other home with my non-biological mother (I've known that family for like 11+ years they feel like a family to me).

My name is simple. z spartan cats.

I don't know why but when playing online, people always end up calling me Spartacus.

RE: How do you pronounce your username ? - Zaliphone - 07-05-2012 11:26 PM

I just looked into this, and it turns out, I've been using the name Zaliphone as my universal internet name/pseudonym since either '05 or '06, since I was freaking 8 or 9! I still remember coming up with it. It was for playing Ratchet: Deadlocked online on my PS2, I wanted a cool username, so I thought of the coolest sounding instrument, made a small spelling/pronunciation change and bam, Zaliphone.

Ha I've been using mine since I was 8 as well, but that was when everquest came out in 1999.
