If you can't pronounce Alex, I'd be worried.
What about the other Alex? (...Alex) Do we call her "dot dot dot Alex"?
No, we call her Alex too
Hmm, from what I've seen in posts around here, I see many people refer to her as "Alex [the mod]" or "Alex the mod".

I honestly doubt any of you Americans can pronounce my name, but yet. Most of you pronounce it "Sten" "Stine" or "Stih-jin". But yeah, for those of you that know a bit of German, try saying "Stein" which sounds about right.

What about us Brits, or the billions of people outside the US? Eh?

You americans are weird.
When you have an "x" at the start of a word, it takes up a "z" sound.
Xerai thus isnt "ex-erai" its "zerai". Xylophone isnt "ex-eyelophone" is it.
Dr Xargoyle is pronounced "Dr Zargoyle"
Xil is pronounced "Zil"
You don't say the first letter of the word in its alphabetical version. You don't say "dee-on't" or "double-u-ant" do you.
And oh how it makes me laugh how americans say "EYE-RACK."
"Hi, me and the boys are going to eye-rack next week"
"Oh, really, i hear the weather in eye-rack is lovely"
"oh indeed, the eye-rack-ees enjoy very hot summers"
"but i hear the eye-rack has very little precipitation, is this true?"
"yes it is, eye-rack has very little rain"
"thanks, enjoy your trip to eye-rack"
Anyway.
But if you want to follow the "ex-eyelophone" way of doing things, my name is pronounced -
"ESS-kull-splitter"

::raises eyebrows:: Interesting, saying it's Americans who're weird, then using Paul and Dan as examples...
Anyway, mine's pretty easy, but I think I'd get a "smurf" thrown in if I typed out the pronunciation. =P

Wrong. You ended up calling her Casmurphy.
The three letter word won't be censored if bunched with other letters.

Vkceankraz I pronounce as ve-ki-an-cras (Yeah, I don't know either 
)and I don't even attempt to say 0_0. My new name for you is now "Huh?". That ok?
Anyway, I'm Twinkle = twin-cul (if you're a Brummie like myself) or twin-kal, if you're boring. If you have problems, call me Helen, H, Twinx, T or just plain "Oi you!".

*tear* Nah, a lot of the time people write Alex (the devil) and Alex (the mod).
It was so much easier when Alex's username was Alexandra *glares at Alex*
There's two female Alex's because we're awesome

*raises hand* If you can't pronounce my name, I will start pulling my hair out.
Pronounced as: Jay; Jaye; J.
It's actually a longer version of "J" and that is shortened from "Jocelyn" which I have no idea why people over here in HK always pronounce it as, "Joy-cee-lin". It's "Joce-lin". No more Jocie, Joycee or anything like that.
And please don't pronounce it like this: underscored-Jaye-underscored
The names I used to pronounce wrong (or still do so XD):
vkceankraz: vee-kay-cean-kraz XD
Shapu: shei-pooh
o_0: I have no idea why, but "ooo, ooo" just comes popping in my head.
Qanda: Quanda, like you predicted. I thought it was a cool pronounciation though XD
ahoteinrun: uh-ho-tee-in-run. "A hot ee in run" is hilarious XD Maybe I should start calling you that lol.
cky182: sky-182. o.O
tymaporer: ta-ma-por-er
xerai: zee-rai. but it sounds nice...
Runevalkyrie: roon-val-kai-ree.
Stijn: Sti-jin. (don't ask XD)
Man I have a pronounciation problem! And there are still more to that list....
