Comment on LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues

  I say leeb-ray, like it’s a French loanword.

    Lee-bruh is definitely the way to go since it fluidly connects to the first syllable of “office”. If you do “lib-ray” or “lee-bray”, you’re forcing a ton of unnecessary annunciation on yourself.

      Agreed, but sounds too much like “Libra Office” ♎️⚖️

    At risk of going of topic, is this a Millennial meme?

    Like, I really hope younger folks have seen this.

  Libre will really only ever be a French word to me so that’s how I always thought it would be pronounced. With an Americanish R sound.

  Leeb-roffice librɑɔfəs for you IPA enjoyers

  Think “Zebra” (NA English) but with an ‘L’.

  I’ve always said “lihb ree” office in my head. (lib as in rib)
