MY NAME IS PRONOUNCED 'JON SHOO-BEE'

Posted by Starogre - February 2nd, 2009


I swear, I think i'm going to change the spelling of my name one day to at least get people to say it right, *edit* because it doesn't look like it would sound to most people. (I blame the spelling, not the people)

"Jon Schubbe"

Does 'Schubbe' look like it would sound like 'Shoo-bee', 'Shoob', or 'Shub'? In fact, it doesn't matter. If there is more than one pronunciation brought up, that is at least one too many.

I bring it up because Glaiel showed me this video at ByteJacker:

http://www.bytejacker.com/episodes/020 22009

It features Closure and a few other games. I think Closure starts around 1:40 if you want to skip to it. Make sure to check it out! *edit* And make sure you vote 'Closure' for Indie Game of the week to the right of the page! (I don't know what that does but it sounds like a good idea)

It's awesome and all, but my last name is of German origin, I believe, and hard to read/say correctly. Oh well.

PS. It's pronounced Shoo-bee not Shoob.

PSS. Shoob is a pretty badass name, too though...

I always thought Shub. You can never be too pissed at someone for assuming the phonetically friendly pronunciation of a name.

oh yeah i know, i'm pissed at the spelling of my name, not really the people that say it incorrectly

"because it doesn't look like it would sound to most people."
These people need to learn how to read. >:(
