I don't care how you pronounce it either. I'm just stating a fact, not forcing divine judgement.

It's not a fact unless you have proven statistics. Until then its opinion.

Askar hands, homam legs, failkar head, failam head, ect

Not an opinion, an estimation.

Brief moment of anal linguistics: Different dialects might pronoucne tomato as to-may-toe or ta-mah-toe, but no one anywhere, ever says pa-tah-toe. It's a misconception that formed when people bastardized the saying "you say to-may-to I say to-mah-to." because potato rhymes with tomato.

Also, I found 20 bucks.

I'm getting so good at picking out Beel threads before even clicking which also means either your game is slippin' or you're aiming for consistency.

I remember once on Seraph someone used to say "San-doh-rye-uh" for Sandy.

I'm honesly not even doing this on purpose. I seem to be bringing out the worst in myself and with it in everyone that responds here.

This thread started with such innocent intent.

I was checking out some pieces of gear and I was wondering how an everyday Texan civilian would pronounce Homam Cosciales.

:)

Don't worry, I don't want you to pronounce anything. I'm not expecting that from someone that replaces words with "w/".

Well, I just did a little background search and found out that: ‘Askar (Arabic: عسكر‎) is an Arabic word meaning "guard" or "soldier".

Interesting. I take it the Homam set is Italian, or something like that. And Kojo was right about homam(Hoe-mom as opposed to Hoe-mam).
