Something, alerted by a friend, has just occurred to me.

How would all of you pronounce my name? It would be interesting to know.

I'll tell you how I pronounce it later... but my way isn't necessarily the best way.

I suspect someone will answer "Grope"...

I'm also expecting someone to just cut the crap, and say "Knob".

:D

Sorry to disappoint you Grix, but I don't pronounce it at all.

I don't talk about you, you see.


Anyway, I agree with VenomByte, if I were to say Grix Thraves it would rhyme with licks graves.

Maybe that could be your motto!

Grix Thraves,
Licks Graves!


Or is it Grix, to rhyme with Prix, as in Grand Prix? Giving it a French sound:

Ah! Je suis desole Monsieur Grix, je ne parle pas Francais!

I say, "Grix" rhyming with tea, but with an x sound at the end as well.

Thraves rhymes with slaves.
