    Eh, close enough...

    Chevalier, didn't you used to be called "Chevalier-des-Trois-Tours"? If yes, why did you change? That name was awesome...

    More like "shevalyeh", all vowels pronounced. Not like you can render French pronunciation using English sounds.

    It was "chevalier des Trois-Tours". I changed the publicly displayed name because it was too long and because hardly anyone wrote it right (understandable - it's close to impossible to remember if you don't know any French). Well, and many people called me chevalier or chev, anyway.

    I did have a long highschool nickname ;)

    @Uytuun: I have always pronounced it like you say, but one never knows. Like that admiral de Ruyter guy... I avoid pronouncing anything Dutch or Flemish aloud at all costs unless I can blame someone else for it :grin: ;)

    chevalier de maniére français

    Well, it is actualy de manière française
    as manière is feminine so français is accorded with it, and you replaced the è with an é. But Beside that it was right.

    BTW I'm not blaming you I'm just making you learn more.

    I also though Chevalier des trois tours was beter than just Chevalier...

    In english it will be ¨Knight of the three Tower¨

    It took me a while to underdstand why people end up calling me ¨Offy¨ and then I just remembered the english sound of ¨e¨ :doh:

    Wow, you guys read stuff. i remember people by their look (avatar and gems). Yes, changing gems do confuses me sometime. What is even worse, i remembered a green tree guy and suddenly he became a shady dark elf guy.
    Even in real life i don't remember any person's name (sometime i even forget about myself). Near the end of every semester there is a lecturer evalutation sheet for every course, i always leave the "instructer" blank.

    Well, as we are in the teaching department, it's "Knight of the Three Towers", as since there are three, you need to use the plural, Offy. :D And besides, the y in your short nick has nothing to do with the e in your nick, it's just the most used termination of a shortened nick.
