[QUOTE="ElementalDissonance, post: 91290, member: 6064"] Yeah, websites can be a real pain in the piehole. And the bigger they get, the more work they need to maintain. I've had a couple become real monsters in the past. But about the pronunciation... I think the accent would have to be on "al" rather than "norm" for two reasons. Firstly, I think "Paranormalis" is or is derived from a Latin word, and in French at least, there is no accentuation of specific syllables. Pronouncing it "Paranorm-Alice" redistributes the accent more evenly among the syllables, is closer to the original pronunciation, and would be more intelligible to foreign ears. Secondly, if you put the accent on "norm", the whole word sounds like "paranormal" with an extra syllable thrown on at the end. The trouble with that is that listeners would probably hear something more like "paranormals" or "paranormalist", especially if the microphone quality isn't so hot or the speaker isn't experienced with using a mike. I hope that makes sense... [/QUOTE]
