    The way it's spelled in game would make it sound like drew. But yes, dreg is the correct in universe pronunciation of the word. They should consider respelling that word.

    However it's pronounced, I'll bet it would be delicious steamed and in a butter sauce with a twist of lemon. Like a giant, tasty lobster.

    Isn't it "dree-oog"?
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    How about we agree to pronounce it as "drug".

    Dreugh Wax.

    "Dreugh in" is a lot friendlier to say that "Dreugh wax". Sacrificing the "guh" sound for the sake of a smooth sentence is more than reasonable and it's not unheard of. Ever heard someone pronounce mature as 'ma-toor' rather than 'ma-choor'? It just sounds annoying.

    At least pronouncing it 'drew' follows normal pronunciation. I find it funny when I hear bugloss pronounced 'bug-loss'. It should be 'bu-gloss'.

    I always thought it was "drey-uh", until I heard an NPC say it.

    Now I pronounce it correctly and look down my nose at anyone who doesn't.

    "Dreugh" is one of the few words I read like German; I was playing Morrowind in German for years (the other ES games in English) and got used to read or pronounce it like "Droig", it's still in my brain and I can't seem to get it out any time soon^^

    It's not sad at all. It's a perfectly normal type of thread to open when the system is down for maintenance. It is lighthearted, on topic, and started a conversation about the pronunciation of a whacked-out in game word.

    What's sad is that you are so negatively judgmental about it all.
