Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide


OK, here's the deal: It's pronounced "Zikes'mn", not "Zakes-man" (accent on the first syllable with a long "i" and silent "a", the second syllable with a schwa "a"). Preferred 'nick-username' is Zaikes (rhymes with 'yikes').

Anybody else out there with a username having ambiguous/obscure correct pronunciation (you know who you are), here's your big chance to set us all straight!

Well, not exactly hard to pronounce or a prescription drug but derived from me getting the wild idea of putting a V-8 engine under the hood of my 91 Mazda RX7, and then wouldn't you know, Mazda later comes out with an RX8 !! Not like mine though, I was first, ha ha !! Thanks for the clarification Zaikesman, what nationality, German ?
