By the way, soft 'G' is like Gato and hard 'G' is like Jiminy.

Lol, try out that theory with this example, Calico, it'll keep you right...: Would you rather bump your head upon a 'Gilet' or, the 'Ground'?

One's hard - one's soft, and the 'G's are comparable, respectively.

The choice is yours, my friend. Russian Roullette! (Soft 'R') ;) :D

This is all very interesting. We should write a book about the origins of Terragen.  ;D

Indeed, we should. :D Just out of interest, are there any books on Terragen somewhere out there yet?

By the way, I vote for my pronunciation.


And why are these forums so slow at the moment?

My mistake.  That's a point of confusion for me.  Hard G should be like January.  Or so it is in my dictionary.   ;D

January my friend is a Soft G sound.

I guess we could spell it Terrajen.  :)

I had a lot of fun with my schools "Talking dictionary" program with this :)
The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

Didn't you mean "Let's gust chanje the subgect"?

That is if you hold to the rules you have been using. :)

Terragen apparently has it own language, terranese.

Quotehehe- it doesn't really matter how you pronounce it just as long as you are sipping a cocktail in one of the many bars in the galaxy at the time.

Would that be a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster; Where the softness of the Gs is a function of how many you have had and when you last talked to Zaphod Beeblebrox?

Sorry I couldn't resist

Anyone know where I can get a life on the cheap, I need to get more memory for my PC as well  ;D
Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast.

Thanks Mark for showing your first work.

And, it's TERragen.  With the accent on the first syllable.  Or is it?   ;D

You are most welcome calico...I really should make some time to do another video podcast at some point. Maybe during the summer...

Haha...Nobody knows how to pronounce Terragen! :D
Nobody from Planetside seems to have given us an answer...

Maybe the range of pronunciations we've come up with is meant to reflect Terragen's creativity or something philosophical like that...
