Player One Podcast's Greg Sewart pronounced it "Reh-set-err-uh" like, a week after the forum was created, and it stuck with me.

What? No...that can't be right.

It's two words I though, "reset" and then "era" pronounced well like it's spelt.

If you didn't get that it was 'Re-cetera' the moment you saw that the off-topic forum was called 'Etcetera', you need to take a good long look at yourself.

Perhaps you should take a 'good hard look' at even what it the off-topic forum is actually called. It says it at the top of the page you are on. EtcetEra. Not EtCetera. Even that should be Et-cet Era based on how it is it presented.

The z-grade 'pun' is obviously where this crappy pronunciation came from, but every other element of the presentation clearly pushes toward the full normal pronunciation of 'Era'. Even if the logo was not two colours clearly separating the words, it even has a 'slash' effect/mmotif on the t of the 'reset' and the e of the 'era' to further imply division of the two words.

Highlighting a part of a brand name/logo to emphasise a second meaning isn't anything new. 'Era' being a different colour is because, yeah, it's a new era of the forum and reset of the old one, but it's still obviously pronounced re-setera.

This doesn't read 'Bthirtyoner baskin robbins'.

This isn't 'Resident Ee-seven'.

If you don't want the "Era" pronounced like "Era," then don't capitalize the E.

It's Reset Era.

People are oddly really invested in this. Pronounce it however you like, who's going to stop you?

looks like we might have to ban Cerium

If it was pronounced the way he says it there should be no capital E in era. Naming failed. Reset Era for life!
