After almost 2 years, we finally know how "ResetEra" is pronounced

[D.Lo]

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'.

I cannot believe you think these have any relevance. Those have combined numbers into the logo for a 'clever' double meaning, which is not part of the official name and neither is meant to imply a changed pronunciation.

Neither is part of the name, just logo as a marketing thing.

The forum is named for being a reset of GAF and new era. It is not named after the latin phrase Et Cetera, with 'Era' as a 'hidden' double meaning. The 'EtcetEra' name for the off topic is the cheesy 'double meaning' part, just like 'vERAfied members etc.

This is why funding education is important. Damn illiteracy.

Illiteracy is the word that came to my mind as well.

Is it too late for a coup?

Or to just delete the site?

Yep. George Lucas, Ridley Scott, Gif Guy. It's surprisingly common.

Fuck Cerium, I'm sticking with Reset-Era as my pronunciation.

 

[Addleburg]

I always figured that's how it was pronounced: like "etcetera" but "resetera."

*shrug*

 

[Mr. Von Touchdown]

Well, we had a good run...

 

[DeSolos]

Both "Reset" and "Era" are capitalized, and therefore they are two separate words. Reset Era.

 

[The Driver]

Ban me mfers, send me back to GAF

Sike, I knew I was pronouncing it right lmao.

 

[cursed knowledge]

to be honest i never even thought about this because i never pronounced it, but i guess that that being like "etcetera" makes sense?

 

[JigglesBunny]

REE-SET-ER-AH is the definitive pronunciation, go home everyone.

 

[ToddBonzalez]

God, this is so gross to me.

 

[Messofanego]

Vindication!

 

[Hyun Sai]

Reset Era.

 

[beins]

RESET ERA

OK there, chief. We have confirmation here that it is re-setera, so I don't know why you're speaking so authoritatively about your mistaken interpretation, but you do you.

 

[Figgles]

This was a debate? You would think the name of the OT forum would have clued people in.

 

[psynergyadept]

Thank goodness a majority of ERA knows what's up

You have failed your people Stephen!!!!

 

[Clowns]

It's Reset Era.
It's Gif.

 

[BossAttack]

This forum was a Reset.

It's Reset-Era. Fuck, why is this so complicated?!

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Ill call it whatever the fuck I want OK?

 

[Branson]

Reset Era actually sounds good and makes sense. resetera like etcetera sounds kinda dumb. Sorry.

 

[Morrigan]

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

[Peru]

Of course. If you think it's "reset era" you can't read.

But then shouldn't it be titled "EtCetera"?

Why set the "Era" apart in color (and CamelCase) if you don't want it pronounced separately. Why, I say. I fear we are being messed with.

 

[Knight613]

I could've sworn we settled this like a week after the site went up.

I still prefer Rest Area. But any way is cool.

 

[Megatron]

A max of the top two. Ree set er ah.

Rhymes with etcetera.

 

[Rassilon]

Reset-er—ra

 

[Surfinn]

What the fuck at that poll. I thought everybody assumed this by now

 

[vivftp]

WTF, I've been calling it NewGAF this whole time!
;)


Serious tho, I mostly call it Era, which means whenever I pronounce the whole thing I default to Reset Era.

 

[Blablurn]

Waaaaat

 

[pixelation]

Dang I used to pronounce it Reset (pause) Era... now I feel so dumb because it makes sense.

You mean it would be an overreaction to step down over this?

Pretty sure his name is see-ree-umm and not seh-ree-umm.

 

[bwahhhhh]

while reading about the launch on discord, I assumed it was Reset Era, but as soon as I saw the EtcetEra forum i figured it rhymed with that

 

[VeePs]

LMAO, like I'm trusting some random dude in a video over my boy, Snake:

Reset Era won

 

[Hark]

Resetera certainly sounds better than Reset ERA. I tell my friends I browse a gaming forum rather than Reset Era, but that's all about to change - hell yeah.

 

[Pluto]

Wasn't that obvious? I always thought it rhymed with etcetera, the non gaming forum was called EtcetEra for a reason.

 

[c0Zm1c]

Resety McEraface

 

[Prax]

I also pronounce his username SEH-ree-uhm, so I'll agree with him. Maybe he got french influenced pronounciations in mind!

 

[Qikz]

reset era

 

[HeavenlyOne]

Reset Era = just a GAF spin-off

resetera = it's own damn thing, thus obviously superior

 

[The Curry Witch]

then why is there a color change between reset and era in the logo? This is bad and destroyed my mood today.

 

[ethanradd]

It will always be "Reset. Era." to me

 

[tommy7154]

The E is capital making it Reset Era.

If it were recetera, then it'd be pronounced like etcetera.

Were I to say it out loud, I'd probably say the Era forums.

 

[CloseTalker]

Dude can think whatever he wants, it's 100% two words Reset Era

What's even the argument for the other way? Reset Era has meaning given the origin of the site. Resetera is just a stupid thing that kind of sounds like another, equally unrelated word. Why would anyone prefer that lol.

The fact that everyone uses Era as shorthand kind of betrays any claim to one word resetera
