Y'know, getting into Ranma through fanfic can be dangerous...

Yes... it can be... especially with the lemons. ;)

I finally scrape together enough money to get a video - 
TV series, Vol. 1.

Was it viz? ;)

And I learn that I've been mispronouncing names for six
months now.  Hard G?  3 syllables?

don't feel bad... I was mispronouncing just about every word in the 
Japanese language for about a year before I noticed that some sounds were 
silent and others were... well, it was really a RED FACE moment for me. ^_^;;

It's a hard habit to break.  I'll probably always say 
"Ah-kain", because I read it that way.  "Jenma", too.

Try saying it to some friends, practicing and laughing together. It 
helps. ;)

I feel so cheap and used.  Oh, well.  Sorry if this is
pointless, but I needed to work it out.  Back to the fanfic.

*smiles*  Only if you're slight mis-information was used to gain other 
people their profit.
