    I usually end up with completly different words.

    X-ka-bard
    Buh-yakko
    Cat-oh-blop-us
    Beu-ci-deen
    U-geel-phia
    Haub-er-g-on
    Qwa-fum

    I generally dont look at how to exactlly pronounce them, I just glane at the word and say it how ill remember it.

    Beaudeaux is spelt ベドー (be do-) on the Japanese version. The hyphen elongates the sound of the vowel so I guess it's intended pronounciation is... well, "bedo".

    I used to pronounce Qufim as "Qee-feem" (as some people pronounce linux as "lee-nix"). But it seems the correct one is "kuh-feem"

    I pronounce it Haw-Bur-Gee-On, but I agree with you on Qufim. Although my friends used to pronounce it Quiff-Im (as in the large fringe)

    Mount Zhayolm? Za-yolm or Zhay-olm? I prefer the first one.

    Xarcabard = Xar-Ka-Bard
    Beacedine = Bow-Si-Dine
    Byakko = Bee-Acko
    Pso'Xja = So-Ja

    I don't know why, but I always said Beaudeaux as Beau-Dux

    Caedarva = Kay-Dar-Va
    Wajaom = Waj-Umm

    I pretty much pronounce them the same way as Ringoko. I learned some Japanese, so I tend to use it to pronounce a lot of words.

    This thread is pretty fun, I say:

    Bee - Dou
    By - Ahko
    Bou - Ced - Ine
    So - Jah
    Kay - Dar - Vah
    Waj - Ohm
    Qwi - Fim

    I try not to pronounce them though because it sounds turbo nerdy when I do D:

    Adding:

    Castle Zvahl (Zeh - Vall?)
    Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi (Hoo - Zoi?)
    Konschtat Highlands (Con - Sh - Tat-?)

    Castle Z-vall

    Kon-shh-tat Highlands

    And I think Al'Taieu has to be pronounced with a french accent, like "Al-Te-yeu", or rather "Al-Teyeu" because it sounds weird with 3 syllables lol

    FFXI pronounciations, as said by myself.

    Also, I'm sure I said Beadeaux wrong (I think you have to say that "eaux" part like "ox" or the "aux" part in "auxillary"), but I'm not gonna go back to fix it, its too late. I'm sure I got the others correct though.

    So, when people pronounce something wrong, do you just let it slide, or do you correct them? Or do you start pronouncing it their way so they don't feel stupid?

    What's most obnoxious to me is when people pronounce the job abrvs. like acronyms, e.g. "Dee Arr Kay."

    I just say it my way. I know I'm wrong on a few of them, but I'm too use to saying them that way to change now.
