I'm the opposite. I think about the board exclusively as "ML" like emm ell, so if people write "a ML thread" I want to stab them with a spork.
Also, I say my name like sea-ville.

I pronounce cville as "civil". Kuus is "koose". I also now call booby "bobby" since that one thread, and I do it in a Hank Hill voice.

Cville will always be Seville to me.
I sorta say the B in lamb (like I'm not saying lam-buh, but I'm also not saying lam. It's nuanced.), so it's like that in my head.

I never read "H" as husband. Like, I know what it means, but I don't replace it with "husband" mentally.

I know it's not right, but in my mind I pronounce
Jalapeñomel

I also thought
psychmom
was "Psycho mom" for the longest time. Then I realized there was no O and it blew my mind.
I hope you didn't think that was a fitting name

I've always thought of oceanspray as Ocean Spray. (ha)
cville is C Ville. But I like Seville. That's also the name of the most awesome furniture store here so...yeah, maybe it's Seville from now on.

It never occurred to me that
joshlyman
was anything other than Joshly Man.
I know
joenali
are two separate names but I still always read it as Joe Nali.
I say sea-ville for
cville
and pronounce @tambcat the same as she does – the b is there but not like tam-b-cat.
@weeble did us all a favor and spelled out her pronunciation for us. lol. So did
aance
by adding the e.
