How the fuck are you supposed to pronounce that?

[–] alt_xa_23@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

I've heard it GROI-per /gɹɔɪ.pɝ/

/gɹɔɪ.pɝ/

I always find these funny, I know the intent but so very rarely is it helpful. I’m probably just too dumb to figure it out

Ahh, yes of course, G-RICE-PE... I am sure there are people out there who know what those cursed letters mean, but it ain't me either.

Yeah but remember the R is an upside and backwards lowercase r sound. Not a standard R sound

That's because the English r sound is a weird one.
