Gasp! Greetings and welcome to my website. Nothing much here future content will include editorials, reviews, and general thoughts of the day.
Now onto the title of this blog, “Pronounced My-Kee-On.” Quite an odd title isn’t it? Well the alias I’ve been using for since 1998 in the online world is “mikeon.” I was a kid at the time, trying to think up a name for a multi user dungeon (MUD) game called Arcane Nites. I wanted an RPG sounding them and “mikeon” sounded RPGy at the time and thus, “mikeon” was born.
It wasn’t until I started playing in games where voice communication started to emerge that I began to realize “hey, everyone is pronouncing my name wrong! They’re calling me “mike ON” instead of “my-kee-on!” It never really bothered me though and I just went with whatever people would call me. When asked how to pronounce the name, I would reply the correct way. Although, I have to admin, I have no idea what kind of tonal sign I should but on top of the name to make it easier to tell it’s not “mike ON”
Perhaps with this blog, things may change.
