School Maybe

Would it be a good or bad idea to put a little school in the game to teach you how to pronounce all these names and stuff like that? Idk really. Maybe something like the G.O.A.T. Exam or something. I dont know about everyone else but i sure do have a hard time pronouncing some of thes name. Haha. So thoughts?
When you look into the eye of the beast, what do you see? I see my reflection....

    Pronunciation is always a tricky issue, even when the game has professional voice actors. I mean, Bahraha's Curse? Do youpronounce the first 'h' or keep it silent? Do the voice actors do it one way because it's easier, or because that's the phonetic directive they're given? I love how it sounds with a hard 'h' there, but maybe others don't!

    I also pronounce Cyrodiil with a 'k' sound at the beginning and the last part sounding more like 'eel' than 'ill', though, so take the above with a grain of salt. >.>

    it's more like SEE-ROH-DEAL - the double i creates a long e like in eel, while the l is a single one IMO.

    A lit of people pronounce kagernacs wrong for some reason. They seem to add and r so it becomes kragernacs. I hear a lot do it.

    Fus Roh Dah?

    But I'd say "Sirodill", a small i in the first syllable.
