Pronunciation poll
Just for fun! I know there exist “the correct” pronunciations, but how do you pronounce the words in your inner monologue? :) Nauvis: 1. “Now-vis” 2. Closer to “Novice” Vulcanus: 1. “Vulk Anus” 2. Like “Tetanus” Gleba: 1. “Gleeba” 2. “Glebbah” 3. “Glay Bar” Fulgora: 1. “Ful-gore-ah” 2. “Ful-guu-rah” 3. “Fulger-ah” Aquilo: 1. “Ack-eelo” 2. “A qui loh” 3. “Ack-willow” And lastly: 1. “Space Age” 2. “Spaceage” like “Mileage”

I feel like if you picked 2 for Spaceage, your the type to pronounce females like tamales, or tomatoes like tomatoes.

Nauvis is “NAW - vis”, like gnawing and aravice.
Vulcanus is “Vul - CAN - us”, like Vulcan or Vulcanize
Gleba is more fun like “Glee - ba”, but usually ends up being “glebbah”.
Fulgora is “Full - GORE - ah” but I originally misread the name and said “Full - GROW - ah”.
Aquilo is usually “A - QUILL - oh” but I accept arguments to pronounce it like Aquilae.
The DLC is two words: “Space - Age”. Spaceage is whatever is dumped off a platform.
12112 and from now on I will be calling it spaceage.
Slaps roof of factorio. This bad boy has so much spaceage for all the time I’m putting into it.
I might actually be pronouncing fulgora 2 despite thinking 1, at least when speaking fast.
Gleba:
“Gleeba” “Glebbah” “Glay Bar”Immediately in my head, this song started playing.
🎵GIRL… I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GLAY BAR.
LET’S START A WAR, START A NUCLEAR WAR
AT THE GLAY BAR, GLAY BAR, GLAY BAR 🎵
['näʊ̯.wis], [wul.'kɜ̃.nus], ['gle.bɐ], ['ful.gɔ.ɾɐ], ['ä.kʷi.lo], ['speɪs 'eɪ.dʒe]
If speaking them loud I’m probably swapping the [w]'s with [v]'s. Beyond that one could probably guess my native language and even local dialect from that, specially the vowels.
The “letter swapping” thing is that I mentally read those names as in Latin, with the sound [w], because they clearly look like Latin words. However since plenty people whine against it I read them aloud with the sound [v].
The “guess my native language” part is about the rest, disregarding the [w] vs. [v] thing. (It’s Portuguese.)
Nauvis: Definitely 2
Vulcanus: Definitely 2, never even crossed my mind on 1. It’s like Venus but it’s a Vulcan.
Gleba: 2
Fulgora: 1
Aquilo: Well I’ve been pronouncing it as a-QUILL-ee-oh this whole time. I guess I can just drop the 3rd syllable. That makes it option 3 I believe.
Space Age: Of course 1. 2 is just wrong.
