[Ogg] Pronouncing the Name
Sun Jul 26, 2009 5:03 pm

  • http://rm.endoftheinternet.org/~nexuiz/nexuiz.ogg

    To the others: please make such recordings too!

    Extra points for knowing who had this idea first... hint: he's got a strong Finnish accent.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

    I don't understand what you mean as I can't open the downloaded thing with whatever they say do it with nero so I did but I have to buy the new function to read the .ogg files so could you give more explanation or do it in another .

  • I love incomplete standards to be supported by Firefox 3.5 - allows me to listen to ogg without additional software :)

    That's how I used to pronounce it too (nexooeez)! That's how it's spelled damnit! :P


    Nexius. That would be the "correct" spelling for how everyone else is pronouncing it here.

  • I spoke slowly on purpose because I know not everyone on here knows English well.

    It has always annoyed me just how bad some of the names of open source software can be. I just had a chat with lordhavoc about the Nexuiz name a few nights ago. He confirmed the story behind the odd spelling...

    <Doku-Laptop> ok...maybe you can answer this long lost question. Who named nexuiz? (or rather, who spelled it
    originally?)
    <LordHavoc> heehh
    <LordHavoc> err heheh
    <Doku-Laptop> :-)
    <LordHavoc> Vermeulen named it Nexiuz
    <LordHavoc> an artist misspelled it when typing up the logos
    <LordHavoc> he didn't really care, so he adopted the misspelling
    <Doku-Laptop> I see
    <Doku-Laptop> so that rumor is true
    <LordHavoc> then news sites saw it that way and he never changed it
    <Doku-Laptop> someone said that they messed up when they registered the domain
    <LordHavoc> I nearly convinced him to change the name officially before 1.0 release
    <LordHavoc> but I never pushed hard enough

    Hehe good idea, but it was so slow that it was funny to me :)

    I was there last night too, what can I say it doesn't bother me at all, also I don't think there is an easy way to "fix" it. Its been long enough to be a mistake, it seems something intended or at least accepted.

    So better live with it, right?

    But maybe it would be nice to change the announcer whenever we releaase 3.0 ;)
