I use American English for the superior compression algorithms and the more extensive import features.

PostProcess@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThere’s no extra 'U’s. What you want is your right to exclude the 'U’s you don’t feel are necessary, it’s not the same thing. There was no need for the 'z’s but you guys couldn’t help yourselves could you!?

At least we don’t pronounce it “zed”
brown567@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
You deserve more downvotes for this
How dare Americans pronounce it as (constant sound)-ē like b, c, d, g, p, t, and v instead of its correct pronunciation as one of 2-3 consonants that aren’t just their sound preceded or followed by a vowel sound /s
That being said, my takes on alphabet pronunciation are total batshit, I have beef with H and Q

Dang, I really struck a nerve huh? My bad, it was just meant as a playful jab.

You’re good, no nerve struck here, just being melodramatic for fun =)
Quite frankly, I’m not sure why your comment is getting downvoted so much XD
