It's not likely your username will come up in speech,* but it's fun to think about. Mine is fairly obvious because it's phonetic.

Stresses, in CAPS, are assumed to be American unless otherwise noted by users in the thread. Some usernames aren't stressed because they're unknown. Pronunciation table will be included later.
Although mine's complex, the majority of you should manage. I did try brushing up on how to add the pronunciation to my name with the Merriam-Webster pronunciation guide, but found that I failed dramatically.
So many people have been asking me how to pronounce my username so I'm just gonna put it here. Hope this makes sense, because I'm not very good at explaining.

see-ell^-ay^^ch-kay^^-pee-ay^^ch
Each letter in my username is separate.
It's not "CluckPaw" (Although that would be a pretty cool username.)
So, my name. Ag, as in AGH! THE PAIN! Ah. as in, open wide, I'm your dentist and it's time to floss those gums Zag. As in ZIGGITY ZAG, SHFIFTY FIVE Ah. See previous previous. Shoo, like Shoe or Shoo! or shuuuuuuuu with only one U. Foo. As in, food without the D like most of you people or foolish without the lish. And that's only if you say it slow. If you say it fast, it sounds like aggaasiojdfa;lkhgo;aio;oilkurmom. If you say it just right, it sounds like an average between the first part and the second part.
