Petition to change English pronunciation rules so that felon is pronounced "fee-lawn" (as opposed to "fee-line"), but only when discussing Elon Musk.

Elon the Felon has such a nice ring to it! Or if you're short on space, FElon (bonus: it can be read as fuck Elon!)

I don't know how people usually pronounce it, but I propose to treat the B in WEBM and WEBP as silent, pronouncing it like "wem" and "wep". The B doesn't add any necessary auditory information but makes it harder to pronounce. #webm #webp #pronunciation

I came across this old page put together by Maria Gouskova that I had bookmarked elsewhere with how to pronounce linguists names that aren't obvious.

It won't be useful to a lot of people, but for those of us who need it, it's VERY useful!

When Brits or Americans try to fix an appointment with a German woman, they sometimes earn themselves a slap in the face. The reason is that they try to say "I want to see you tonight" in German: "Ich möchte Sie heute Nacht sehen." Unable to pronounce the "ch", they say something like "Ick mockte Sie heute nackt sehen." Meaning: I want to see you naked today.

#pronunciation – so important.

TIL that the "My" in MySQL is not the English word my the Swedish name My, for the daughter of #MySQL co-founder Michael Widenius. ♡

The name My was introduced by Tove Jansson for the #Moomins character Little My, who is named after the Greek letter mu.

So you could pronounce My as [ˈmyː] or as [maɪ].

Never mind how to pronounce SQL.

MySQL documentation defines the official #pronunciation as “My Ess Que Ell” but the devs in Swedish say "mü-ess-ku-ell".

Today I learned that I have been pronouncing "worcestershire sauce" wrong my entire life.

Interesting. According to Brent Spiner (the actor who plays the android Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation)

1) it was Patrick Stewart's UK pronunciation of his character's name (day-tah instead of the US's dah-tah) that made this pronunciation canon, and

2) the character of Data and the popularity of Star Trek has led to "day-tah" now being the common pronunciation in the US, too.

Finally (20 years later) learning SQL. Told my partner the cool kids pronounce it "sequel." She said, "I figured it would be 'squeal."

I like her version better.
