I'm Confused about Chapter 2

[moskow603]

Ive realized today that in some areas on the site that Chapter 2 is called The Siege of Spinner Cay and some areas it says The Siege of Spinner City
Can someone please explain this? What is the name? Do they mean the same thing?

[Ezny]

I'm pretty sure it's Cay and not City, I don't know when the word City surfaced but I think I remember seeing that somewhere else as well.

[moskow603]

If you go to the game page it says City
I think it was originally called City and maybe they decided to change it

[Ezny]

Would have been a good decision imo.

[Focused]

I never noticed that, actually. I've always seen it being referred to as "Cay".

[moskow603]

Just go to the game page

[Focused]

The game will be called Spinner Cay, not Spinner City. Don't worry! ;)

[moskow603]

I know
Im just curious about the change

[Focused]

Yeah, me too. I hadn't noticed that before, but now I wonder.

[Ezny]

I'm guessing Spinner City was a working title. Or 'title in progress..'

[dumpling321]

wow good catch there xD never noticed that

[jp-30]

Just looks like one typo on a single graphic heading that's caused the confusion.

[Jake]

Yeah, someone made a typo on the Tales page. It's always been Spinner Cay, but something went weird today. Probably this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg3g06kPs3Q).

[Aeterna]

Thanks for that.

I never noticed it before either, but good to know it hasn't changed then. :)

[moskow603]

I think Spinner City actually sounds cool
At least it wasn't Spin City as seen from the vid

[splash1]

Spinner City, no.. Doesn't sound that cool, now Cay sounds excellent!

[moskow603]

What the heck is a Cay anyway?

[splash1]

An Island formed by coral reefs, looks like a regular island, except it has different sand, and other things.

[DjNDB]

What the heck is a Cay anyway?

I hate to answer with wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cay). There were better times... before every speculation was answered with GIYF and people used to discuss.

[bigdondoo]

We should start calling it the Siege of Spinner Quay just to confuse everyone.

[moskow603]

I bet they'll change the name again to like The Siege of Spinner Cayman Island

ZOMG, someone tell IGN, all forum posts by TTG staff are 100% serious and should be reported as news!

I can't wait for The Tax Shelter of Monkey Island, last I heard Yare had announced it would be coming out on iphones and toasters worldwide!

[moskow603]

I still don't get it

[bigdondoo]

That's okay. I'm still trying to understand that whole Monkey Island 5 sucks thread that came out a few weeks ago.

[meander]

So Spinner Cay... Is Cay pronounced "kay" or "key" (like "quay" is?). I thought you said it like "key", but since the Majus video I'm thinking I was wrong...

[bugzbunny90]

i thought the add says The leech of spinner cay :S lol

[Monkeybutton]

Cay is definitely infintiely more piratey than city. Cay is Kay, Quay is Key and Bouy is BOY - not booey as I've so often heard our US cousins refer to it....just like Herb is Herb not Erb - because it has a *&@£ing H in it....:)

Cay is Key, bouy is spelt buoy and Hour has a *&@£ing H in it too... :P

Gimme a break - I'm using a laptop balanced on the back of my sofa ffs :) Half the time I'm in full caps because my tab and caps lock are so close together!!!

Not for me - I'm from Manchester originally :) Dropped Aitches and extra Ts all t'way :D

T'Lion, T'Witch and T'Wardrobe - you appear to have that issue too !!

[hansschmucker]

Ah English pronunciation rules. Do you know this one?

Fish could equally well be written as "Ghoti".
"Gh" as in enouGH
"o" as in wOmen
"ti" as in naTIon

Haha! Nice one Hans - try some Scottish ones on for size:

Finzean = Fingan

Strachan = Strawn if it's a place, Strakan if it's a name

Dundee = Scumdee (!)

The Herb quote is a direct rip-off of Mr Eddie Izzard btw :D

Just slightly. What more is to say about it now we know it is a typo?

[moskow603]

You'd be surprised
This should make Headline News

10 more days till Spinner City

[Edward VanHelgen]

i m sure there is more to it, the word city is not here by chance. probably an idication of a hidden city, what you think?

[Rather Dashing]

i m sure there is more to it, the "city" is not here just by chance. probably an idication of a hidden city, what you think?
I think that's ridiculous and "City" is just the wrong word altogether. =p

Both are "correct." Just because we pronounce words differently in the US doesn't make them "incorrect." I could say that you guys don't know how to pronounce your own language, e.g.:

Featherstonehaugh = Fanshaw
Kirkcudbright = Kir-KOO-bree
Ayscough = Askew
Menzies = Mingus
Edinburgh = Eddin-burra

I could go on and on. I don't need lecturing from a Brit on what "proper English" is. :mad:

My point is this: There are differences in dialects, but one is not more correct than the other.

[Toothless Gibbon]

One is just the original. ;)

How do you pronounce Edinburgh, out of interest? Edin borrow?

[Iron Curtain]

First of all, being the country of origin does not automatically equate sociolinguistic primacy. Hell, if you go back far enough, you don't get lectures from Germany and Denmark on how to speak Germanic languages, do you? Also, Britain conquered the world starting a few centuries or so ago, meaning that...

English is everywhere, and different dialects are spoken in the US, Canada, Jamaica, Australia, New Zealand, etc. The fact that English originated in England (or as I said before, Denmark and Saxony) is irrelevant considering that the English (and Welsh, Scottish, and Irish, come to think of it) are not the only ones speaking it as a first language.

As for the second part of your statement, I pronounce it "Eddin-boorugh" with the "gh" being guttural.

[bigdondoo]

^^^ Holy crap! We've unleashed a beast!

I guess I must have pronounced ;) wrong.

[Spadge]

Maybe the word "Cay" is also wordplay. Maybe it indicates we'd be searching for a "key". A key to the Lair of the Leviathan. Right? RIGHT???

Well, maybe not.

[alexonfyre]

Maybe there is also a woman named Spinner Cay and she is assaulting the island Spinner Cay for trademark infringement

[nikasaur]

They call her SPINSTER Cay because that nonsense got confusing after the first assault. It was very "Who's On First."
