HuCard (Who Card or Hugh Card) You decide!

[synbiosfan]

Who card is up there with pronouncing nes and snes like a word.

It's all the rage in pal land

Never heard my cousins say that but I like the British pronunciation of aluminum.

Hew.
Card.

Pronounced hue

Same as these guys, my thinking is it's always been like what you would expect HU to sound like like in Japanese, since it's from Hudson, but therein lies the weirdness. 

Even though it's spelled HUDSON on everything, the JP spellings I have ever seen for the company are ハドソン (or HADOSON). Which is like, okay that sounds like Hudson but now I'm really confused.

What gets me more is the British or Australians who pronounce Sega as "SEE-GAH".... le wut?

[Arkhan]

You ever hear the British people that say "koe nay mee" for Konami?

lol it is awful.


In any event, it's Hew (hyoo, hugh) Card.  They even say "hewcard" in the Japanese commercials...

Mystery solved.

The round eye kids say it like that, but the adult voiceover dude says hucardo.

[Ergot_Cholera]

I am a Britisher and I have never heard anyone pronounce SEGA as SEE-GA. It has always been pronounced SÉ-GA to me (it even informs you how to pronounce it at startup in some games). Also Konami is pronounced as it should be KO-NA-ME.
Your information source is unreliable.

My information source is your fellow countrymen talking like jackasses on their shitty YouTube channels.

Let me see if I can track some down.

Aussies definitely say SEE-GAH

[Punch]

It's pronounced both ways even in official HADASAN stuff...

NEW CHALLENGE:

Say HUE KARD x20

I can't do it without fumbling over the sounds and generating babble by 15/16 iterations...

My and my friend used to pronounce it SEE-GA. To us, the megadrive was the '16-bit SEE-GA' for a while. Then, we corrected ourselves once we knew better i.e. after there were actually speech samples in the games.

I used to call a certain game "Cheenah Warrior" because a friend  pronounced it that way and I assumed he knew something that I didn't. Note: He was a dumbass, but that still didn't raise any red flags. I didn't actually own TG-16 yet, let alone the game. We said "Cheenah" for a few months (between console launch and XMAS, when I finally bought TG-16).

I am a semi-intelligent person. I still don't understand why it took me so long to realize the obvious.

I would love to tell you that I was I intentionally applying a Spanish pronunciation to an obviously English word...but I wasn't.

My dad had really bad sleep apnea and he would gasp for breath in the middle of the night. It sounded just like: "SEEEGAH!"

I am pretty certain he was an agent of FEKA.

[Bloufo]

There's a youtuber whose pronunciation of it is "H" "U" "card".

Aussies definitely say SEE-GAH

They really do. lol

If you have trouble with it just think of the proper pronunciation (according to the man himself) of Steven Seagal's surname, and lose the "L" at the end.

So you'd go something like: "SAY-GA".  Close enough.
