You know, Atari, if you ever write a paragraph I think I will take it to be a sign of the coming apocalypse. Your middle name is "Laconic."

No, in our case it should be (REPLACE nasal twang) "Synch-bloody-estra, cobber!".

I don't understand why people are making a distinction between 'sink-est-rah' and 'sin-kes-trah' or whatever - putting the consonants in different syllables yields the same pronunciation*. Unless you mean to signify that the stress is in a different place.

Anyway, I thought the stress was on the 'syn', but sin-KES-trah sounds better, so yay.


*Well, okay, theoretically the 'ng' sound in 'sink' will be very slightly truncated if, psychologically, the K is included in that syllable. And personally that's how I think of it, because 'synch' is a word.

Moo.

If I had a guess, it's just a cool sounding word. That's if you use the same rationale as Devy's lyrics. (not taking things too seriously etc)

How do you know the word is "cool sounding" if you dont know how to pronounce it... ?

like orchestra, but "sink" instead of "orc"

Exactly how I thought about it. But nobody seems to agree except you

I do.

It's in fact pronounced bleh-um-qughksu-mnar

Sünn-käss-twah

I agree too. And this is how I will pronounce it from this day on, unless I change my mind. Alrighty then.

Fuck, I can't pronounce it synchEstra, I can't believe anyone could, it sounds goddamn ugly, it's got to be sYnchestra. I mean ... if I say it out loud, it sounds wrong, like orchEstra (:shock: yuck!), maybe I need to hear someone else say it or maybe Dev wanted it to sound awful but ... Am I the only one?
