but dunno if I can switch to Nayth.
given it's his name and he says so, i'm fine with switching, but in my head i'll still say nath. if i ever meet him i'll have to not **** it up. i'm somewhat sympathetic given my own name.

Wait, I haven't been following along, he pronounces it "Nayth" and "Nath" like Math?

Also, lol @ ever switching to jif unless you mean from Peter Pan

I mean if it was Nathan then yeah, it's Nayth, but Nath by itself is clearly Nath

if it was nathan, nath would never be the nickname.

Because it's they way I'm guessing the vast majority of people would opt to pronounce it when shown the word?

I mean we don't have a really solid metric to use here and English (and an old Gallagher bit) is full of funny pronunciation rules (tomb=toom, Comb=cOm) but I can't see many people jumping to Nayth when shown "nath" on a flash card or something.

(obv i mean does he shorten nathan to nayth)

and yet, you're a gif(t)er.

Wow if he isn't shortening his name from Nathan and still mispronounces it.

Well there's two problems there, I've never met anyone irl that pronounces it Jif (admittedly small sample) and Jif is ****ing ******ed and still the name of a goddamn peanut butter, so yeah, Gif

I mean, Kid Colin (and not Kid Colon) coming down on the side of obscure pronunciations is really odd.

if he does go by nayth instead of nate IRL, that's bizarre but to each his own

relating to the screen name, when pronouncing it, i could not give two ****s about what one's IRL name is, and it shouldn't matter anyway since the only time it's being pronounced is inside people's heads as they're reading the forum
