I thought it was just simply Te-RAWR-ia. I can't even imagine it being pronounced the first option in the poll. x3
This. It still amazes me when people pronounce stuff wrong without actually thinking.Scrimshaw13 said:its just the word terrarium with an "a" on the end. You say it just like that.
It's more than that; terraria is actually the proper plural form of "terrarium," or at least it would be if English followed Latin rules for Latin loan words. Because it doesn't, both Terraria and terrariums are considered proper. Anyway, I'm surprised more people don't know that terraria is actually a word.Jodah said:This.

I actually did know that its just that, as you said, most people don't know terraria is a word. (Hell, even my browser is yelling at me for typing it ) Many more people know the word terrarium, and how to say it.Owyn_Merrilin said:It's more than that; terraria is actually the proper plural form of "terrarium," or at least it would be if English followed Latin rules for Latin loan words.

In that case...Owyn_Merrilin said:It's more than that; terraria is actually the proper plural form of "terrarium," or at least it would be if English followed Latin rules for Latin loan words.

Yep. Just checked Dictionary.com [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/terraria]. Terr-Air-ee-uh.
I still agree that at first glance it is undoubtedly spelled Ter-a-ria (arrr way). The only reason I even sympathise with people who pronounce it the other way is because TiY and Blue (Devs) do.lacktheknack said:I get "terr - air - ee - uh" because the word looks like "terrarium", which is pronounced similarly.believer258 said:Like a pirate.
My brother and I have been having this argument. He takes it completely seriously. I don't see how anyone could see it spelled any other way.
Terraria
Terr - arr - eee - uhh
Terraria
Where the hell do you get "air" from? There's no spelling to suggest that...
