>>53529843

>>53529854
>>53529861
Wrong
It's Zoo - boon - two
>>53529831
Ccch-byun-tyuu
luh TEK
>>53529854
why not just say ex oo-bun-two
emphasizes the X in XFCE and the ubuntu part, zoobuntoo just makes people think "ZUBUNTU"
>>53529877
it's 2 against 1, so it's Zoo-bun-two
>len-ix
>>53529906
Because not everyone was dropped headfirst multiple times as a child like you
>>53529910

>>53529910
The correct pronounciation of Ubuntu is "ooh - boon - too", hence the "zoo - boon - too" pronounciation.

This. English is Javascript of natural languages.

something something hack a gui in visual basic to track an IP
>>53529964
Ubuntu is pronounced Oo-boon-too. I think xubuntu should be pronounced with the soft G at the start. Not the "gif" soft g, but the long soft G. Like "g" oo boon too. Im probably wrong though.
I blame the Normans.
>>53530131
1/??
>>53530172
Do you simply mean you?
Like you-boon-2?
>>53530191

U-bu-n-tzu
>>53530191
>>53530220
Moar?
>>53530213
No, it's ooboontoo, but I think the x in xubuntu should be a dragged out g/j sound. Like the word "genre". But once again. I am retarded. And probably wrong.
>>53530220
3/3 as it turns out
>>53530264
>>53530273
Most Americans spell potato "tater" though.
>>53530264
>Moar?
yes, please!
>>53529843
b-ah-tah n-eh-tah
>>53529843
Oo-boon-too
>>53530306
>else if
>>53530336
>Oo-boon-too
agreed
and "GIF" not "JIF"
"jay-peg" not "jay-pee-gee"
"Scuzzy" not "sexy" (old school inna house)
"Sequel" not "ess-cue-el"
"pearl" not "pee-ehch-pee" :^)
>>53530367
>>53530393
Cough and rough don't rhyme? Whut?
>>53530393
>>53529831
zoo boon too
>>53530393
to be fair you are comparing an English word with an Italian town.
>>53530419
I guess because it's pronounced "kof" and "raf", so pronounced they share only the last sound "f".
>>53530445
I agree, it's a shit picture :)
At least that's what I like about English, leaving foreign words in their original form. It's harder to pronounce sometimes, but it's easier to look up the original online. Especially names.

May-t, if its pronounced MAH TAY thats fucking stupid.
Gah-no-m, but i still pronounce it no-m, because gah-no-m sounds fucking stupid.
Gah-noo, i compound the g and nu sounds. gnu

The "A" is pronounced like in "cat", and the "E" is pronounced like in "pen". Learn spanish, putos.
yoo-BUHN-too
>>53530608
and another 10ft higher
>>53530389
It's "jif" though. Like giraffe, giant, and gentoo.
>>53530419
Rough, cough, and though don't rhyme. However, Pony and Bologna do.
>>53529789
I also pronounced "gnome" like "Jee-Noam" as in genome. Sounds cooler than a garden gnome you keep outside to scare little kids, there's no other reason to have a gnome in your garden
>>53530737
It's a sign that old people live alone in the house and that you can rob them easily.
>>53529789
yes/no
GNU is the meme, Linux isn't
but can you believe that some UNIRONICALLY are linux-libre/GNUtards?
>>53530821
Yeah, some even unironically poo in the loo instead of in designated shitting streets.
>>53529831
ech-soo-bun-too
>>53529789
GNU is pronounced Gee En You.

It's based on XFCE, pronounced "ecks eff see ee", so Xubuntu is pronounced "ecks oo boon too".
ITT: people that read at a 5th grade level
>>53530273
Holy fuck, I think you're on to something. Try to run Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn back through that.
It's only because English tried hard to speak French when they were invaded by Normans but they never achieved it.
>>53529789
Shoobuntu
>all these mad foreigners
How does it feel to have your language cucked by English every day?
I pronounce them as
>guh-noo
>may-t (as in, "g'day mate")
>nome (as in Nome, Alaska)
>Oo-buhn-too
And I don't care how people originally intended they be pronounced, because I also pronounce GIF and Gentoo with a hard G, like in "girlfriend", something no one here has.
How do you pronounce PTHC?
>>53532669
>XFCE
That's pronounced xehfsseh
>>53535119
Phtuck
>>53530393
American* English is weird.
Nowhere else in the world is Bologna pronounced "baloney"
>>53529831
ecks oo boon too
>>53535119
I like calling it "Pathick". Not that I know what PTHC is or anything
>>53530264
If you remove the gh from the start (hiccup is accepted as being spelt as such), this one actually works.
