I say See-tis. I'm pretty sure thats not correct but I like the way it sounds.

That's why I say it that way too. If I had to guess it probably really sounds the way Edi says.

I'm just curious why the pronunciation would be any different than standard english?

We anglicize the spelling to best match how the english spelling would match the sounds of the native speaker. One might argue whether it was Beijing or Peking but it wouldn't be New York.

See'tis, undoubtably.

I've been wondering about Tir na n'Og. That's one damn beast of a word.

Tirnoog?

Tirnaug?

I actually have no idea what IW considers the correct pronunciation. I'm guessing just as much as anyone else.

I pronounce it Tirnanoog. An irish person may know exactly. Or Wikipedia. :)
The only one that I'm unsure about if I pronounce it correctly is R'lyeh.

Rightly or wrongly, all my friends pronounce it "sss-tiss".

The idea that it might be pronounced differently never even came up and there aare like ten of us playing dominions and not all of us talk to each other.

I believe the correct pronunciation of R'lyeh is "oh-REE-lee". At least, that's what I keep hearing everyone around me saying. Damn cultists! Leave me alone.
