  1. I never liked the way vegan sounds: VEE-gun, ugh. A VEE-gun would be someone from a planet circling the star Vega (VEE-guh); if that was what was meant, then fine. I say veh-jun, for the vegetables a vegan eats. Also I prefer gala said guh-LAH! It’s festive and sounds like an event, and it makes me think of Salvador Dali ecstatically saying his love’s name, plus it’s a kind of parrot. And I say Renaissance ree-NAY-ssunss, because that’s what it means: re-nascence. And Caribbean /kah-REEB-ee-un/ because of the Carib (kah-REEB) people it’s named for. And Tasmania /taz-muhn-EE-uh/, and so on.

    Your personal system doesn’t have to be consistent. People should say things the way they like to. Better ways would would have a better chance of catching on and the language would improve and be more fun.
