>>1600940
Is that canon?

>>1600940

You post a picture of a cannon firing Lays, implying that lays-cannon is incorrect? Because it isn't. It's right, and furthermore, it's the only right way to say it.

Anyone who doubts me is ignorant.

>>1600961
Aye ya wee bugger 's pronunced LASS-CANNON.
Like de wee lass ye wanna go bone back at castle McAngus.

Lah-z Kannon, motherfuckers.

>>1601012

Layz-cannon

Those who doubt me suck cock by choice.

>>1600961
he was so sure of himself, too. lol.

>>1601028
>Those who are doing it wrong suck cock by choice.

Fixed that for you.
Enjoy your cock.

>>1601054

Fuck you.

its pronounced just how its spelled

lascannon

LAAZCANNON

no lays

no lahs

no lass

LAAZCANNON

LASCANNONS FIRE WHITEISH/LIGHT BLUE, LASGUNS FIRE RED, MELTA IS RED, PLASMA IS GREEN. THAT IS THE WAY THINGS ARE.

you don't say lass-er, you say lay-ser, hence lacecannon is correct.

Why wouldn't it be lays?

It's a laser, isn't it?

>>1601059
you just won

>>1601071
I assumed that as well; I mean, 'laser' is the root word, after all.

I saw Lazcanon because layscannon sounds awfully faggoty.

Tie-ranids.

Because it's like "Tyrant" lolz

I don't care if it takes 300+ posts in this thread, I will destroy your argument and crush all resistance to the Truth. The Truth that it is layscannon.

Look it up in a fucking dictionary.

>>1601098
No, it's teer because it's pronounced like tyranny.

>>1601099
my dictionary doesn't have a listing for layzcannon

I with this thread was a church so I could chain the doors shut and light it on fire.

Tizneetsh

>>1601143

I know a guy who says this and I want to kill him


and it's lazzcannon you faggots

LAYSGUN SOUNDS GAY AS HELL

>>1601143
Tzeentch...Zeench.

First T is silent.

>>1601028
im so ronery...

I've had to go through this so many damn times.. it WOULD be LAYS-Cannon. IF. IFIFIFIFIFIFIFIFIFIFIFIF. It were spelled Lasecannon. AS IT IS. LAS, by itself, is not pronounced LAYS. It's pronounced Lahz. So quit your damn bawwing and accept that without the E, it can never be deliciously potato-y.
TL;DR : Petition GW to add an e.

>>1601170
I-I'm confused

Remove the 'e' from the word 'laser' and IT DOESN'T SOUND THE SAME HOLY FUCK SHIT WHAT A REVELATION.

>>1601176
thats not showing a picture of george hearst is it? cause its looking like some weeaboo cartoon to me

WALKERS-CANNON.

>>1601173
You're retarded and you have no idea how many exceptions there are in English.

It's pronounced 'lays' because it comes from the word 'laser'. With or without the 'e' the 'a' is still long.

>>1601202
I demand you hand in your english license for being terminally retarded.

Americans aren't allowed an opinion on this because they don't speak English. They might as well be german.

>>1601193
NUH-UH IT'S PRINGLESCANNON NOW

On another note, I miss eating Pringles. Would it kill them to make the stuff halal?

>>1601202

No it's pronounced Lahzcannon, because although it's a shortened "laser", "you're retarded and you have no idea how many exceptions there are in English."


Your own argument betrays you

Ausfags all pronounce it as LAZcannon as well.

Just saying.

Sorry, seabrooks-gun.

>>1601215

WELL THAT'S WHAT I WANTED BUT EVERYONE WAS LIKE "NOOOO LET'S SPEAK ENGLISH, I'M TOO LAZY TO LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE THAN THAT OF OUR OPPRESSORS"

I suppose there's only one way of settling this.

Someone needs to contact Games Workshop for an official ruling.

>>1601224

Pringles?

>>1601224
I think they've toned down the flavourings so they barely taste of anything now. Either that or I got an inexplicably shitty tube.

>>1601224
YOU CONVERTED TO ISLAM? YOU FUCKING FAGGOT? DO YOU HATE BACON? HAVE YOU NO LOVE FOR THE SCENT OF COOKING SMOKED PORK FLESH?

>>1601224
Fuck your halal shit! It's a fucking superstition and you fuckers wouldn't recognize it if it wasn't halal! Goddamned sandniggers with your crazy voodoo taboo's.

>>1601242
>>1601244
Goddamnit guys.

>>1601237
I just had an aneurism.

Pronounce this word, fuckers.

Zoology.

>>1601254
No, fuck you. I had to spend shitloads of trouble at a barbeque party because some sandnigger wasn't allowed to eat meat that wasn't halal. You know what I did? I mixed it up. I made the sandnigger eat non-halal meat, therefore dooming him to hell. And you know what? He fucking deserved it. All you sandniggers deserve a straight fucking ticket to your own little sandnigger HELL.

>>1601244
Wtch your mouth, boy- we don't use voodoo.

Little does >>1601202 know that >>1601173 is an english major, and knows exactly how many exceptions there are in the insane language. As >>1601226 pointed out, the addition of the second vowel after the single interceding consonant does indeed make the first vowel 'long' in this case. Removing it changes pronounciation.
TL;DR : La + as = lahz.

>>1601270

Zoo-ology?

Well, at least that's how every biology class or professor I've ever been to at university pronounces it.

>>1601268
True story, Franklin proposed the official language be German

>>1601270
Zoe-ology and I swear I didn't look it up on wikipedia because it sounded like a trick question.

>>1601277
Double goddamnit. Fatbeards get really twitchy about food.

>>1601290
>OPRESSORS

>>1601277
Actually, you didn't really do anything to the guy; it's okay for a Muslim to eat non-halal stuff if he isn't given a choice, like if someone tricked him into eating it, or if his life depended on it.

JOKE'S ON YOU, KAFFIR

Although to be fair, he could have just brought his own food, or you could have just catered for fish and/or veggies; halal only applies to herbivorous animals what live on land. And there is some debate on whether plant-eating insects can be considered halal.

>>1601298
nomnomnom delicious caterpillars

>>1601283
Except 'lascannon' is a made up word, a portmanteau of two words. Laser and Cannon. The spelling, in this case, does not match the sound since the spelling came second.

>>1601226

Spurious logic aside, he's right. The emphasis in "laser" is in the first syllable. Derivative words should follow. Unless of course you're using minute/diminutive logic.

>>1601303
>mmm delicious termite queens

Fixed. Seriously, them bitches is delicious. DELICIOUS I TELL YOU.

>>1601298
Go blow yourself up in the name of your sand fairy.

>>1601303

pls don't eat me :C

>>1601309
Being made up doesn't remove it from the admittedly loose laws of english pronounciation. Just because Las is shortened from laser does not predicate that it should be pronounced lays.

>>1601309
Again, that logic could also explain why it's pronounced differently then it's root word.

Lol circular logic

>>1601326

That is both hideous and cute.

FOR THE EMPRAH

>>1601291
>>1601284
By strict construction of the word, it should be pronounced zoe-ology, but in practice it's zoo-ology. While speaking, we shove a vowel that doesn't even exist into the word. Like the 'e' that makes the 'a' long in lascannon.

>>1601326
Watch out for sandniggers, little caterpillar! They don't just eat voodoo pork and watermelons anymore!

You know what? Only Americans pronounce it lays, which is why I make every effort to always pronounce it 'laz', because for some reason that tends to irritate them. It also doesn't sound retarded.

>>1601336
Actually I'd imagine without mispronunciation it would be said as "Zoo-logy"

>>1601350
I'm American, I thought Brits said it "Lays", I always say Lazz

>>1601333
Naaaw, I couldn't eat you, you widdle tyke!

Other bugs are fair game, though. It's not that I hate them- I like them a lot See, I've been a hunter all my life. I love animals. That's why I like to kill 'em. I wouldn't kill an animal I didn't like.

>>1601353
I've never heard a person in real life say 'lays'.

SKA-ven

>>1601354
Do you like yourself?

>>1601352
True, the actual suffix is -logy.

I honestly just can't understand why someone would even think layzcannon would possibly be right. Aside from the fact that laser sounds like layzur. It's the ER that changes the way that the S is pronounced, which in turn changes the way the prominent vowel is pronounced. In theory, anyhow. Technically all pronounciations of any word are right given that language is just a means to convey ideas. As long as the other person knows what the hell you're talking about, it really doesn't matter how it's said.

>>1601360
Great, now I have to make a Ska themed Skaven army.

>>1601363
>As long as the other person knows what the hell you're talking about, it really doesn't matter how it's said.

Except this is the internet, and someone has to be wrong.

And since I'm going to bed, I'll be wrong for all of you. I concede the point. It's 'lazz' or 'lahz' - with the short 'a' sound. Please try not to snicker until I've left the room after I mispronounce it.

>>1601360
HATING YOU TO DEATH

People who say Layz also say Tizneetch, Kuh-horne, Slaansh, Tie-ranyds, ildar, and Knackrons.

>Technically all pronounciations of any word are right given that language is just a means to convey ideas. As long as the other person knows what the hell you're talking about, it really doesn't matter how it's said.

I agree with you, but this IS a place where the majority of participants are prepared to argue distances between overpriced plastic models down to a hundredth of a centimeter. Some things have to be expected.

>>1601380
Of course it's true.

We actually modify the root word so that it ends in o, not the suffix. Biology, Psychology, Geology, Phisiology, etc.

>>1601063
Plasma can be blue, too. I refer you to any 2nd Ed Marines Codex for proof.

>>1601378
Not true. I say 'layz' but pronounce all the others just fine.

>>1601388
By that logic Squats exi

>>1601326

That looks less like "plz dont eat me :3" and more like "Just as planned"

though perhaps /tg/ has caused me to see everything through "just as planned" glasses...

>>1601392

If you say Layz, you say all the others wrong. No exceptions.

>>1601378
Actually I believe the popular mispronounciation of Necrons is knee-crons.

Back when I got the first space hulk game, I pronounced genestealer as "Jen a stealer", I have no idea how the fuck I came up with that... possibly being to young to be familiar with genes.

>>1601419
Genesis?

>>1601419

>jen a stealer

Im amazed.

my vote is for layz-cannon

Nebraska-fag here.

At my FLGS, all the old fatbeards pronounce it Lahzcannon.

And as far as I know, we pronounce all the other stuff right. Corn, sla-nesh, zeench (with a little...click at the beginning, sorta. Hard to explain), Nurgle (liek gurgle, right?). 'crawns, 'nids, Spayce elfs.
