How Do You Pronounce Rorschach?

[Rez]

I always said "Roar Satch" rhyming with batch, not watch. Yeah, I know it's wrong, but damn if I don't care.

My other names were equally wrong, but forever imprinted in my mind:

"Vee Et"
"Joo Speh zick"
"Dan"

 

[Indrid Cold]

"Roar Shack"

 

[Sawyer]

Whenever I hear people pronouce the word "rorschach" I always hear everyone say it differently. What is it's proper pronunciation?

Raw-Shark
Raw-Shock
Raw-Shack
Roar-Shark
Roar-Shock
Roar-Shack

?

There.

 

[Man Who Laughed]

ROR-schach

The "ch" is almost not there.

 

[DDS]

"Roar Shack"

Same.

 

[ManofmyWord]

I think Vedit is VEE Dite

 

[Sasso]

I think Vedit is VEE Dite

It's pronounced Vite.

 

[CaptainGenerica]

And it's spelled "Veidt".

 

[Gexmeister]

I pronounce Rorschach "Roar-shack", Veidt "Veit" and Juspeczyck "Joo-Spe-Syck".

 

[Démon]

I pronounce it like "rohr-shakh" - my attempt to approximate the German pronunciation in text.

 

[Kii]

I say roar-shock.

 

[nbond99]

Roar-shack, Vite, and Yoo-speh-chick.

 

[Spideyfan01]

I pronounce it "Roar-shack"

 

[Bubastis]

Roar-schok
Veidt rhymes with Right, bright, and polite!
Since Jew-Spic-Sick isn't right, i'd venture a guess at "Yoospeckzuck"

 

[Alex The Bloody]

Roar-shack

veet but i kind of try to subtly slip in the d

ju-spezik

From what I remember, "Roar-shack" was how Moore pronounced it when he was discussing the character and his similarities with Mr. A on the "In search of Steve Ditko" documentary.

 

[BurningBallroom]

I say "Roar-Shock". Took me ages to learn how to pronounce it.

Ok, what about Ozymandias?

Thats how I pronounce it too.



Though I say Ozzie-Man-de-ASS a lot too for effect.

Yes, I've heard him say it that way, somewhere as well.
