dracon pronounciation
« on: January 20, 2010, 08:38:02 PM »
dont know if this has been asked or told yet, but was just wondering how is it correctly pronounced?

is it 'dra-coon' rhyming with 'dragoon' and 'balloon' or simply 'dra-con' with the 'con' as in 'con-vict'?

yeah im pretty certain that they've mentioned it at least once in the early episodes.......i think it was the one where they were in the yeerk pool complex throwing balloons filled with oatmeal??

but then again, maybe not.

oh well, its been since 1999 that ive watched it. not planning to watch it again anytime soon ^^

LOL at the dracon beams being flashlights on the show though.....wth was with that? xD and it shot out sparks too
