In reference to the Arch User Repository, do you say Ore? Arr? Our? Do you say A U R? Or do you just say the full Arch User Repository?

In Dutch, au is a fixed diphthong that's part of many of our normal words. /ʌu/... approximately. So that's how I pronounce it... in my head. I don't think I've ever really had reason to say it out loud.

But then how do you tell everyone you meet where to find extra packages..? Asking for a friend
