Malfaydor Mashinations? Uhmm.. I think I'm with the Malfador Machinations too.

So we've all concluded he can't pronounce the name of his own company then?

Machinations is pronounced:
Mak - in- ations

The ch is pronounced like the C in Cat.

Or so says my Dictionary. Of course, there's no accounting for the way you Yanks mangle English. ;-)

I always pronounced it 'Mash-in-ayshuns'.

"Mash" is a common mispronounciation, but the real thing is "mak."

I'm okay with Machinations. Its just pulling back the curtain to find out it is Malfaydor after all this time is bugging me.

Kind of like Magneato versus Magnetto, which sounds *way* cooler.

My grandfather always says "mash". I chuckle every time he does it.

I am a Mal'fah'dorian as well. Is anyone going to let Aaron know he can't even pronounce his own company name? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

In one of my recent e-mails I told Aaron that his pronunciation of Mal-fay-der has left the community in shock - so much so that we forgot about all the bugs in SE:V.

Magnetto sounds kinda like a tool.
