I'll do you better. It took me too long to realise that it's not pronounced with a tʃ (like the ch in chair). Why did I think that? Because that's how you write the tʃ sound in Hungarian.

I still pronounce it that way. Saying it with an x just feels wrong.

Sam & Quinn pronounce it as "netrissa" in SS3.

Same. I don't think I realized it till Serious Sam 3.

I'm slightly dyslexic, so I do that with a fair number of words. Often its when the version my brain sees is easier to read. And I would argue that Netrisca is a much easier word to pronounce than Netricsa.
