--- Quote from: Emperor Norton on 30 May 2011, 23:51 ---Ok this is like, the third or fourth post I've seen where you type Tia repeatedly. Its TAI. TAI. Its only written repeatedly in this thread. Also, Just lol Steve. That was, just the kind of thing I would say (though, in my case I wouldn't mean it... seriously all my friends would find that funny, even if it was them in Marten's place).

Please enlighten a non-native user of the English language: How do you pronounce 'Tai'?
In my mind I always pronounce her name the same way as I would utter 'tie' (=an item of clothing for men, or a draw in a match). But I am aware of the fact that this may be a result of my default Finnish letter-to-phoneme mapping. So I'm prepared to be very wrong about this. Anyway, I justified it to myself as follows. Her name sounds oriental to me, so it is like 'Thai' with the 'th' replaced with 't' :-D
Edit: My question has been answered by Pendrake, see further downthread. I thanked him/her with a PM. Thanks all for reading!
Tergon:
Steve is kidding. If nothing else, even if you think he's a douche, if he were being honest in saying this then he'd be in direct violation of the Bro Code. That's a line he wouldn't cross.

Good you told us.

Just wanted to be clear. Sarcasm doesn't always translate over the internet.
pendrake:
For comic #1937...
1. Skewbrow... You are correct, QC's Tai is pronounced "tie" like a "bow-tie" one wears, or the Star Wars' Tie Fighter for which Tai makes her DJ-name (#1022, 3rd panel, "Tai Fighter").
2. Ooh, story-arc set-up. The coming party will be "interesting" to see.
3. Wonder if Steve would feel the same way about his double-standard statement(s) of "taking one for the team" if it was the oppurtunity viewing of Cosette and Tai making out...?
