Default Re: How should word "C'tis" be pronounced?

Tirnaug?
Dominions isn't the first game I have played with that word. Another game I have played since 2001 also references it. I am pretty set in my ways on how I pronounce it as Tir-Na- Nog.

I also pronounce Cuchulainn as "Coo-cha-lane" but the correct pronunciation is "Coo-Hoo-Lan (lane?)".

What happens is I see a word, create a pronunciation for it and then I find out the real pronunciation later on, but it is too late as I am set in my ways.

For example, I used to pronounce Stipend like "Stip-end" when in reality it is "Stipe-end". Safe to say I was the source of much amusement for a know-it-all when I found out I was pronouncing it wrong.
