MGLS: Now with pronunciation!

[Lucas Garron]

MGLS is three years old.

Since then, it's been a rather successful method - the fastest official full alternative to CFOP, and unofficially probably only beaten by BigGreen.

Jokes about wizards aside,

I hereby declare the official pronunciation of "MGLS" to be "muggles".​

Much shorter, and everyone's already tempted to do that.
And I have Macky's approval.

I'm also thinking about "class" for "CLS" and "else" for "ELS." Any opinions?

HAHA funny. I like it.

That's all well and good, but we really need an alternate pronunciation of "COLL". Pronouncing the letters gets awkward as all the vowels in "see oh ell" get mushed together when you try to say it fast. Can we just say "koll"?

 

[Kirjava]

I'm sure you won't mind me saying em gee ell ess still.

Sorry, "muggles" just sounds too silly for me ^_^

 

[Sa967St]

I've already been saying ELS as "else" and COLL as "cole".

MUGGLES ftw

I am learning this now.

I thought "koll" was standard already?

I think we don't have enough funds for a MGLS-police. So you can probably get away with it.

I like the idea, but I'm afraid it sounds way too silly to say that in swedish. I won't dare, that's for sure.

Well, there is no swede (as far as I know) that uses MGLS, so I guess it won't be a problem.

Personally I think Miggles is more phonetic, but it's hard to argue phonetics in a word with no vowels. Plus it might be awkward to tell people I use the Muggles method to solve the cube (whenever I get around to learning MGLS ofc).

 

[riffz]

I think I'll stick to em gee ell ess.

It has been standard here for a long time, although our "koll" != your "koll".

F2L is pronounced "fiddle", OLL is pronounced "ole" and PLL is pronounced "pill

At least thats what I use.

Seafop pronunciations should remain the same, except for CFOP itself.

1) The spelling is MGLS. Always been, and will be.
2) How easily could Hermione solve a cube?

I don't care but she's hot.

I've always pronounced it "EM-JELLIS" in my head.
