Casabon would technically be Kaz-a-Bon (silent ''n'', hard to explain to the english-speaking fellows)

The guy who went viral by hanging on a signpost, Mike Kvackay. No idea how to pronounce that, and when I asked him in some other thread he called me a hater or something. I just wanted to know.

No. its actually pronounced Sig Tvæit. The Æ is the same sound as the A in several english words. For instance, Lap, Fap, Snack, and so on. Now say Sigg Tv -Æ-it.


But the Æ represents the a in said words. just try...
