How bout a Pronounciation (Spelling?) guide on GSS. I think it'll help people who can't pronounce something like Imil or something. Here's what I'm suggesting really. Record your voice on a microphone and put it on the site so we can hear how it's said...

etc.

Hey that's a good Idea! Like it should be like this.
Imil ('im ill)
Ok that's how I pronounce Imil.... the Imil in bold shouls be a link to a .wav file or something, that will have the pronunciation in voice.

What Agatio meant is to simply have the textual pronounciation, rather than the inclusion of sound files. Creating .wav files would take up some time and be a burden on the bandwith...

Well, I think Dictionary is better, unless the person doesn't know how to read dictionary pronunciation. But most people do know how to read it.
Plus, for the microphone one, what if they speak a different accent?

For someone who left you do an awfully good job of posting ;) .
And do they have all the GS words in the dictionary? It's for names of towns, characters, djinn etc. They aren't in the dictionary are they?

He meant making a dictionary, that's why he reffered to it as "Dictionary idea", geez, learn to read. ;)

I'm warning you for that.
Because that isn't obvious.

Look, don't antagonise me ok? I t wasn't obvious he was refering to GS dictionary, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who though he was refering to a normal dictionary, so just back off ok? The last thing I need right now is some twirp on the other side of the world being a **** to me.

Well it's not my decision. It's really up to Max. I'm just suggesting something like a pronunciation guide that's all.
It could be:
.wav file with dictionary pronunciation
just plain .wav file
or Dictionary pronunciation.

Antagise you? So, you were allowed to do this crap when you weren't a modertator, and I can't? Hm..
Besides, I think you were one of the only ones who thought it was a normal dictionary.

OK this is becoming a spam topic now. And I already said, I'm suggesting the above. *Points to post #11*
