Jun 8, 2023 at 21:04 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | @msh210 Ah, I was wrong on both guesses. Oh well... | |

Jun 8, 2023 at 17:58 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | So I guess that answers the question in the back of my head as to whether "Jafe" is pronounced "Jayf" or "Jah-fay"... | |
Jun 8, 2023 at 16:26 | comment | added | Lemmon | @msh210 Thank you, you're too kind. I find that the short words quite snap, don't you? They lend an air of haste – a sense of need – to what you write. It grants some strange je ne sais quoi, a spark of that group of French scribes from days gone by. It is all a lot of fun :-) | |
Jun 8, 2023 at 15:41 | comment | added | msh210 | First time I read this answer, I didn't even realize the constraint you had put on your writing (outside of the spoiler blocks). Well done. | |
Jun 8, 2023 at 12:04 | comment | added | ThePuzzler- or rather APuzzler | @oAlt haha yeah, I hope it isn't a spoiler (forgot to rot13 it 😐) | |
Jun 8, 2023 at 11:54 | comment | added | oAlt | @ThePuzzler-orratherAPuzzler I freaking knew it, I had a feeling I missed something :P thanks for the clarification :) (I'll still leave it up there though for people who may want more details) | |
Jun 8, 2023 at 11:20 | comment | added | Lemmon | @quarague Lots of English-speakers shorten the German /ˈpɔʁʃə/ to the monosyllable /pɔ(ɹ)ʃ/ colloquially, so much so that it's the first-listed pronunciation on the Wiktionary page for Porsche. I've not yet heard a monosyllablic pronunciation of Google; in my experience it's always /ˈɡuːɡ(ə)l/ for anglophones. | |
Jun 8, 2023 at 11:10 | comment | added | quarague | Mmmh, Porsche is definitely a 2-syllable word in its native German. Not sure how it counts as monosyllabic in English if Google doesn't count. | |
Jun 8, 2023 at 10:39 | comment | added | ThePuzzler- or rather APuzzler | @oAlt yeah... that's the joke haha, having a really short attention span and skipping everything to read only the last paragraph. Appreciate your consideration 🙂 | |
