Apparently the current Retail WoW raid is named Manaforge Omega, which to this Classic Doctor Who fan raises a big question: is it pronounced "oh-MA-gah" like the Greek letter or "OH-ma-gah" like the enemy Timelord in Doctor Who's The Three Doctors?
In English-English we'd generally put the emphasis on the "O" for the Greek letter, hence (I assume.) the pronunciation of the Dr. Who villain. Both would be said the same way. I think Oh-MA-gah must be American pronunciation of the letter?
That's all I'd ever heard it pronounced until I started watching Doctor Who. I figured that it was just a way to make "omega" sound weird and disturbing, not that's how Brits actually pronounced it.

ReplyDeleteIt must be, although I figured that with Greek letters the pronunciations would be the same.
DeleteI realise you're probably not looking for an answer, but every time I've heard it pronounced it's been "Oh-MEH-gh".
