Heheh. Verdict: I am not eloquent. I knew I wouldn't get through that without getting chatty and saying "uhhhhh" a bunch of times, but there you have it.

I'm really liking this glimpse at how you all sound. It's so different from how I hear you in my mind.

I think I say a lot of things "wrong", from hearing all these voice posts. I pronounce "Chloe" and Loste" pretty much the same way.

I used to have Circe wrong, but I looked it up at some point. I used to think of it as having a hard C, like Kirk. I'm pretty awesome at not being able to figure out how to pronounce things until I've heard them spoken, or I've looked them up.

I like how you said Loste. It's more elegant than something that sounds exactly like lost (though I like how silly it is when it's just that).

I pronounce Roque the same way as well, even though I know it's supposed to be like rock. I also pronounce the Jaquet family like Jock-ay. I guess I like to make the names that are supposed to sound like actual words sound like last names instead.

I used to read/spell Roque as Rogue, so I've been "saying" his name that way for ages. I think it sounds cooler than rock, but it's WRONG.
