1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    1. Hi guys!! :) I love Leekeworld's dolls (they are so cute!! :D ), but I've just realized that I may not be pronouncing "Leeke" the right way. :sweat

      I've always pronounced it like "leak". Is this correct? Thanks! :thumbup

    2. Lee-keh I think it is, cos I think it's a Korean word. I looked on the Korean site to see if it was written in Korean anywhere (Korean is written phonetically) but couldn't find it ^^'

      EDIT: It's the title on the web browser! It says 리케 which I would pronounce as li-keh.

      Hope that helps ^^

    5. I had a feeling I was pronouncing it wrong! :sweat "Lee-keh" makes more sense anyway, since it's a Korean company. :)

      Boy, it's gonna be hard getting used to saying "Lee-keh" instead of "Leak"! :blush

    8. I've always pronounced it "leh-keh", because I tend to pronounce japanese and korean words as I would pronounce german words.

    9. Leaky! ^_^ Personally I have huge problems changing my pronunciation of something if I've been pronouncing it one way for a while. So I'll probably continue to pronounce it "leaky," but its nice to know how it is supposed to be pronounced.

    10. Heh, I've always pronounced it like the vegetable/when water escapes, so it's nice to be corrected - it never occured to me the e had it's own syllable!

    13. I normally pronounce "Lee-Key", but sometimes pronounce "leak" because it does miss a lot of stuff for the group order recently......
      They mailed off the order of Dec. 19 but forgot the Dec. 3rd package.....According to my friend. :sweat

    15. I pronounce it 'leak,' but I doubt that's right. x3

    16. This is quite cute, (sorry, but I read write speak korean). it's pronounced "Lee-Keh" it could be written "Li-Keh" but either way works fine I think.

      to go slightly OT, it's confusing sometimes when I hear English speaking bjd owners say certain words or terms (such as 'face-up'. I understand it 100% when it is written, but when I'm speaking to someone I stop myself from saying 'make-up' or meku.) Just interesting connotation.

    17. i say 'leak'

      like. . .

      there's a leak in the roof. :sweat

      i know. it's wrong. ^__^;;

      but now that i know how i'm SUPPOSED to pronounce it, i'll probably start saying 'li-keh' now. it does make a bit more sense. :P
      kinda like how i learned that yder was 'ee-dah' instead of 'eye-derr' xD

    18. That's so cute! :fangirl: I can understand that completely. :) I'm terrible at pronouncing other languages. :sweat

    19. I was pronouncing it "Leek". Hmm. Oh well, we all know what we're trying to talk about anyway. I'll probably continue callling it "Leek"

      I took 3 years of German.. and it stuck with me. I now pronounce stuff that way even though I've lived in the US all my life.
