Hey! How do you pronounce AUR? (piefed.zeromedia.vip)

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?

Like a pirate.

I pronounce it "AUR" of course.

Ay Yew Arr

...but if they renamed it Arch Interactive User Repository or Arch Internet User Repository, I have no problem switching to pronouncing it "eye-urr"

I hear an ancient voice, whispering from the Void, and it chills my lightless heart

Sometimes I forget I have a video game tattoo lmao

Arr.

I just enjoy feeling like a pirate at any opportunity.

[-] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

Exactly. Imagine intentionally turning down the opportunity to Arrrrr at people.

I pronounce it AUR btw.

(In all seriousness I pronounce it like Aura without the 2nd A)

A U R. It rolls off the tongue pretty easily.

Like I am a Protoss Zealot giving my life.

coming from a language with consistent pronunciation I pronounce it "aur" like other comments said, like "aurum" or like in Portuguese - how it is written)

[-] superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Like how the Australians say No

English: [ɔ:]. It rhymes with "dinosaur".
Portuguese: [ä'uɾ]. Basically how it's spelled.

In English, Ey-You-Arr.

In Swedish, diphtonged Aw-ur, pretty similar to Our but with a more pronounced aaah sound. A-U-R would be two glottoal stops (Ahh-Uuh-Err) and is pretty uncomfortable to pronounce in Swedish.

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.

reason to say it out loud

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

[-] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 4 points 1 week ago

Definitely not like OUR (in the sense of owning from community perspective). No seriously, I pronounce it like most do and say each letter on their own like a pirate.

I have not been initiated into any of this. I'd pronounce it like "aura" without the a, and a longer R

[-] Crybb@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago
[-] tangonov@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

It's the "arrrrrr" matey!

[-] fascicle@leminal.space 2 points 1 week ago

Same way I say arch, but without the ch
