ウルティマ オンラインに登場する地名などは何が正しいのかが稀に話題にのぼるね。
たとえばKhaldunはハルドゥーンとカルダン、Destardはデスタードとダスタード、Despiseはデスパイズとデスパイスみたいにね。今回、Sannioがオフィス内での呼び名を幾つか紹介してくれた。
Trammel: "TRAM ehl"
Felucca: "fehl LOO kah"
Skara Brae: "SKA rah BRAY"
Destard: most people say "dehs TARD" but it probably should be "DEHS tard," since it's derivative of "DAS tard" (as in "dastardly")
Bardiche: "bahr DEESH"
Papua: "pahp WA" (although some do say "pah POO ah")
Nujel'm: either "noo JEL um" or "NOO jhel OM" (pronounce "jh" like the "si" in "vision")
