minus-square@nodoze313linkEnglish1•2 years agoI very distinctly recall the geography teacher asking the class clown to pronounce it when we were studying it, it went as expected, and she corrected him. She told us it was pronounced n-eye-jer, but it’s also been 30 years.
There once was a soldier from Niger
Who rode on the back of a tiger
Just one mistake
Is all it would take
To put the soldier inside her.
