I've never understood why Brits end words like "idea" with an "r" sound.

I've never noticed that till now actually
There isn't really a reason behind why certain things are pronounced the way they are; Americans just think that there is some general rule that is being followed. Trust me, there isn't 
Potato is po-tay-to and Tomato is tom-ah-to. Why? I dunno, because English!

It's pronounced " cat-a can" .
see the "waiting death" audio book, and pretty much every BL Q&A session ever.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

That's interesting - DOW2 pronounced the Catachan Devils as "cat-a-chan". There's quite a few pronunciations on there by various units that might clear up long debates over words such as Tyranids (tir-ah-nid) but the confusion now lies in whether an audio drama/book or a video game takes priority.

I always said "ka-ta-chan" like most, but I'll adopt "ka-ta-kan" if that's right.
The hardest word I have found to agree on pronunciation is the old Necromunda gang "Delaque". I always said "De-La-Que" (like a snooker cue or shopping queue), but others say "De-Lack" (like plaque).

Bye bye Dakkadakka, happy hobbying! I really enjoyed my time on here. Opinions were always my own :-) |

I prefer Ka-ta-chan really, and I probably won't adopt ka-ta-kan, even if I tried. I guess pronunciations for things like regiments could be justified as varying from person to person in the lore, whereas a collective like Tyranids may be more centralised on one pronunciation.
Same goes for Delaque - I say de-lack, but it makes sense for others to perhaps say it differently

I'd always pronounced Delaque as "Deh-lake" which is probably plenty wrong. I had no idea anyone had an issue with Tyranids though. I've never ever heard a single person pronounce it differently (gamers, friends, podcasts etc.).
Tyr-uh(ah)-nids, right?
Tzeentch is pretty well pronounced - people either ignore the T or slip it in subtly.
