I never got why the gently caress Americans like to pronounce danke schön like that :confused: I mean out of all the ways you can mispronounce it that's the weirdest choice.

I read somewhere that Shane is how it was pronounced by the largest group of Germans in the US but the internet has lied to me before

also I don't think Americans can hear the difference between ö and ā

Apparently the writer was Jewish and probably took the pronunciation from Yiddish, not German. (BTW the Linguistic details section of Wikipedia article on the song is really hosed up and contradicts itself pretty badly.)

there's a psychoacoustic phenomenon where if you aren't exposed to certain language sounds (or linguistic distinctions) at a young enough age, it can be extremely difficult or impossible for you to identify them as an adult. so if someone hasn't grown up hearing ö or something like it, they won't be able to hear the difference between ö and the most similar-sounding vowel in their accent, acting as if the two sounds are literally the same.

compare japanese speakers having difficulty with R and L, hindi V and W, etc.

anyway this is a stupid discussion bc jerry cotton doesn't realize that the game trailer is literally using that song, and that's just how the singer sings it for whatever reason. plenty of americans know how to say schön.

they have full size control room simulators and I've always hoped that someday I can convince someone that it would be a great "team building exercise" and then go run scenarios in one. It'd be like one of those stupid "escape rooms" but not full of puzzles from point and click adventure games and cheap props.
