November 8, 200817 yr It's nothing to do with that, it's a feature of English that it's very flexible and a particular combination of letters can support a number of diferent pronunciations. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
November 8, 200817 yr No one is going to know beforehand how to pronounce 'Rekoyl' and 'Recoyle', or where to put stresses, seeing as how they are made up words. Might as well have a genuine Swedish word no one can pronounce. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
November 9, 200817 yr If it means 'recoil', then go with an English spelling that's closer and with less ambiguous pronunciation, like 'Rekoyl' or 'Recoyle'. You can insert a hyphen after the prefix re- if you like: 'Re-koil' etc... This is a lame marketing gimmick. If they want to call it 'Recoil' in English, call it that. Don't bastardise the spelling or you'll just suffer the original problem all over again.
November 12, 200817 yr I think you're underestimating the value inherent in it being difficult to pronounce/hard to decode. If people have to think twice about your name it's better than once. It's like the gods names in Cthulhu. My favourite project name of all time has to be HAMMERFALL. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

November 12, 200817 yr Nyarlathotep Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
November 12, 200817 yr Nyarlathotep See? Without meaning to I scanned that three times. Even though I already know how it is pronounced and what it means. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
