That also goes for using ß as an aesthetic B. 

On my old server, there was a character named ßillyßadass.

This never failed to make me laugh, because that letter is not pronounced like B. It is a sharp S. 

That guy named himself SsillySsadass. 

Also to people who you Σ as an aesthetic E

that’s an S too, Σo maybe check next time

oh boy

Д as an aesthetic A? Дon’t be a дumbass.

И as an aesthetic N? don’t be sillи.

П as another aesthetic N? stoп it.

У as an aesthetic Y? ty bad.

Ш or Щ as an aesthetic W? nope. it’s “sh” and “shch”!

Я as an aesthetic R? surprise! it’s “ya”.

ah yes, that classic horror film SNYEYAPOVUL DIAYAIES

This is pronounced Stargoat.

Reblogging for Stargoat.

STARGOAT

I saw in Japan a bag of marshmallows named SCANDINAVIAN MÅRSHMÅLLOW and I still have not recovered from that. It reads as SCANDINAVIAN MORSHMOLLOW 

I always read STARGÅTE as ‘stargåde’ with a Swedish pronunciation.

This one about broke my brain:

There is so much going on here that we need to properly break it down:

Η (eta): Long “e” sound like in “free”
Ψ (psi): “ps” sound like in “psychology” or the noise you make to call your cat
Ρ (rho): equivalent of English “R”
Λ (lambda): equivalent of English “L”
Τ (tau): equivalent of English “T,” one of two letters properly employed here
Φ (phi): equivalent of English “F”
Σ (sigma): as noted above, equivalent of English “S”
Μ (mu): equivalent of English “M,” other properly employed letter
That “presecription” Rx combo: Does not occur in Greek or any other alphabet, what the Hell is it doing here
Θ (theta): soft “th” like in “thing”
Γ (gamma): Kind of an asperated “gh” sound like you start to make a hard “g” but stop halfway through
Δ (delta): hard “th” like in “there.”
Χ (chi): asperated “kh” like in “challah”
Π (pi): Equivalent of English “p”

The other letters do not occur in the Greek alphabet, although you will see English letters used for things like names and titles.

So when we put it all togheter, this miracle of title design reads something like:
