I bet you pronounce aluminum weird too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah, Canadians use the American 🤢 way for some reason

That’s why I didn’t comment on “hach”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

It's spelled differently so both pronunciations are correct. Aluminum and aluminium.theres an extra i in the UK spelling.

The problem is this is still alphabetical phonetically. You need to alphabetize the phenomes using the new alphabet, not the old one.

Krumble cromble might be my favourite new thing to say.

What is this alphabet and one if you ordered these words phonetically?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I did all this through chat gpt. I told it to give me alternative alphabet and pronunciations. Had to finesse it a little.

Where's A

You missed out the first letter, how do you miss out the first letter.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Honestly, I used chat gpt to generate the list and did very minimal spot checking.

Trebuchet to aisle seven? . . . Trebuchet to aisle seven, please.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

probably the second E that's pronounced "ey"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I'd guess "ay".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I assume that's what makes it so brilliant!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Is the second instance of E supposed to be A?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Yeah, probably, I fixed it
