I always say live like living.

Yes, as thats how Live is pronounced.

well live (as in live broadcast on TV) doesnt make much sence

ok, let's make the first 100% - 0% poll ewah

It could be short for Live (as live on TV) on PC for Speed.

Hmm true, I suppose it just comes down to common sense and the way it sounds best.

how do you pronounce WORST thread ever?

our little burbury clad friend below will enlighten us one day...

we live for the speed and for the game aswell

Why would it be live as on tv?? it has no relevance to the game what so ever.

Live as in living, would mean like we are living for speed, we live for it. That's why we play the game. Quite self explanitory tbh.

Plus the fact that the sentance structure needs a verb e.g. live (living)

It's just the problem with the English language really, two words that spelt the same but are pronounced differently (and have different meanings).

So, there's only one correct poll choice.

Saying "Live for Speed" as in LIVE TV doesn't make sense in English - as has been said - so there's only one other option.

Wow, I'm glad people say it correctly, but already 3 voted for LIVE (tv) For Speed!?!? rofl... that can't be right

However, when I tell friends and other people about this game, usually the first thing they say is "LIVE (tv) for Speed?".... but after sounding it out a few more times, they get it right. Then some ask if it is like Need For Speed :rolleyes: :banghead:. lol. The name is a confusing one for this game, but it has stuck so much that I'd hate to say "lets change it"... will never happen probably.

hmmm, allways thought it was like "live on internet".
as non english speaker it was the doubel meaning from the name what i like.
looks like i was wrong.

Well why did they actually call it "Live for Speed".

Everyone I'm telling about the game thinks I'm talking about "Need for Speed". I'm getting used to call the game "Live for Speed and not Need for Speed" *g*

Why not "Online Racing Simulator" or something like that?

Live for Speed is because its about Living for Speed Getting a thrill out of going fast, etc.

i pronounce " Leeve for Speed" hopefully french "i" is pronounced like english "e"

How could anyone think it should be pronounsed like TV live

Well thats nothing really. In Finnish language there are words which are spelled and pronounsed the same way and have different meanings.

"Need for Speed" is called "The Need for Speed", "need" is a noun here. When someone needs some speed, he has the need for speed.

I'll grieve you, but this phoenomenon exists in any language. As for English, it's a problem of borrowings from French and Latin into a language of the German group. Indeed, Afrikaans would better be the universal commonly used language.

Being one who speaks Afrikaans, I can tell you that it is subject to similar flaws to other languages

Do you mean blurred phonetics? What I like in Afrikaans and for what once upon a time I may start learning it is it's simplicity, that it is more analytical than English.

After all Finnish is one of the hardest languages in the world.

I don't agree on that. Not even close to Russian and Chinese in terms of difficulty. I also think that German and Italian are more diffucult with all those articles and genders.

On topic. I've heard many times people saying it live(as on TV or radio). You can also hear it in one interview which was shown on TV

Yea there are people that have no idea how to pronounce 'live' for speed, only those say live as in realtime.

Offtopic: Err, isnt there a Scandinavean language that has verbs like this?
I is
You is
He is
We is
You is
They is
I would've loved to have learnt that language back at college instead of German..

As I said "one of the hardest". Mostly because of grammar complexity and the fact that there aren't similar languages to Finnish except Hungarian. I Googled about this but didn't find any useful sources.

As I am quite interested in languages (I learned english, french, italian, latin and slovenian, allthough I do not pretend that I speak any of those well due to the lack of usage and the time past since I learned them) and also my favourite ex girlfriend recently went to finland as an exchange student, I researched a bit and found out that finish and hungarian are both originating from mongolian and therefor are absolutely different to any latin, german or slavic language.

And to the pronouncing issue: I find it kind of a waste that in austria (and obviously in germany too) the english lessons (and any other language for that matter) do focus more on written than on spoken language. This leads to some quite horrendous prounounciation problems, as noone seems to care if the words are pronounced correctly.
It nearly gives me physical ache when I hear in TS2 "Let's go to sholomance!" instead of "Let's go to sCholomance!" as I assume most WoW players did (or do) go to sChool, and not to shool after all...

And I pronounce Live for Speed just like "living".
