minus-square@SheeEttinlinkEnglish1•11 months agoIf they’re saying it, they just told you how to pronounce it. That’s my point.
minus-square@Zronlink0•11 months agoYeah, but I’m trying to learn for myself, and have never had anyone say it to me. So you’re not really helping by assuming I should know how to pronounce a new word
minus-square@SheeEttinlinkEnglish1•edit-211 months agoI’m not assuming you would know. Nobody is. If they’re introducing themselves, that’s how you would know. If you are a third party and want to learn for yourself, there is a very easy way to do that.
minus-squarequeermunist she/herlinkfedilink-4•11 months agoOkay, but like, if you were in their class you would hear them say it to you and then you’d know. If you actually cared you’d just look it up tbh.
