It turns out that the debugging tool Valgrind is not called that because it grinds through all your values looking for mistakes. It's actually the name of the main gate of Valhalla, through which only the worthy may pass. And it's pronounced with a short "i", like in "hit".

I genuinely like the pronunciation talk. I’m not, however, shocked to find that I am good at spelling but have regional/rural pronunciations for at least some common words that I didn’t realize were technically incorrect or whatever. (“Febuary” at least.) It’s kinda to be expected. I grew up near He-LEE-na, Mo-EYE-ruh, and NOR-fork (Norfolk.) I’m happy to look it up myself (and will because I’m curious) but I can’t discern a difference in how I pronounce any version of Mary/merry/marry and can’t even imagine what the difference would BE.

The_White_Crane posted:... but that's correct? What do you call it now? It's not even remotely correct. Worcestershire is pronounced /ˈwʊstərʃər/, or if you don't read IPA I'd write it something like "wuss-ter-sher". Three syllables, short o/u sound.

On the topic of pronunciation: my dad was a software developer in the 80s/90s, an immigrant to Australia, from South Africa. The story goes that, one time in a meeting with a client, they emphasised that the system to be designed must "cope with deposits and withdrawals". Dad responded, genuinely perplexed, "what's a 'droral'?"

Mehree (long "e" first syllable)/meree (short "e" first syllable)/maree ("a" as in "cat", rather than "e" as in "hello"). E: just thought of a better way of putting it: they rhyme with hairy/cherry/carry, respectively Hyperlynx has a new favorite as of 14:48 on May 17, 2019 |

Same re pronouncing them all the same and one of those is my name, so I declare I'm right. My husband likes to give me poo poo for pronouncing pin and pen the same (along with ten and tin but that comes up less often).

My wife is from Pittsburgh. There's no difference between tile and towel, roof and rough, fire and fur. Also Erin and Aaron are the same name.

Since Mary is a name it could be pronounced like Merry or Marry too though depending on the person, or even like Marie if you and/or your parents are monsters.

Finnish orthography, however, is not only insanely good but in fact the only reasonable way to go about writing a language using an alphabet. (I.e. written language should be phonemic because anything else sucks all the asses.)

(I.e. written language should be phonemic because anything else sucks all the asses.) Being written phonemically doesn't make up for the rest of the insanity involved in the Finnish language. It's not even fully phonemic, the velar nasal (the n sound in kenkä) is inferred based on the spelling/placement of letters, and inconsistent especially in loan words and there are actually several exceptions to phonemic spelling within the language. Also, tuli, tuuli, and tulli will all sound remarkably similar to people trying to learn the language. A bunch of my in-laws speak Finnish, and it's always fun to discuss the insanity of that language. I admit to having to use wikipedia to remember some of the weirdness that's been brought up in previous conversations.

I have never heard these two names pronounced differently. I assumed they were homonyms with one being the male version and one being the female version. I knew a girl named Aaron and it was pronounced just like "air-in". Not A. A. Ron.

Finnska er frekar undarlegt tungumál það vita hinsvegar allir að Finnar eru rammgöldróttir því kukl er þeim í blóð borið og því er eðlilegt að gera einfaldlega ráð fyrir því að Finnska sé einhverskonar undarleg galdraþula.
