tremendous thread op
very temendous

>>7873576
It actually is pronounced with a long open O. It'd be written Schoppenhauer if it was pronounced like you think it is. Also instead of being a smartass online go study.
>>
>>7873576
That's how it's pronounced, dipshit.
>>
Have we fell into OP's artisan trap?
>>
>>7873705
>>7873716
OP knew a horde of slobbering nerds would immediately surge forward to correct him. You both fell for it because you were insecure about your intelligence and wanted to make somebody else feel the same way.

Now please reflect on your vanity and foolishness. I hope OP's thread taught you something tonight.

I once pronounced Camus as 'Samus' as in the videogame character.

Is camus more like camel or cum?

It's more like the opposite of Nabokov

>>7873576
Sometimes I pronounce shit like a pleb, mostly when I'm speaking English, just because I hate repeating myself. Whenever I say shit in French/Spanish/Portuguese/Italian I say it as it would sound in eng, saves time and a lot of cringing.

This is blatantly wrong. Gdansk is in Poland and there is no vowel length in Polish. Please note, though, that this great Polish philosopher (second after Fryderyk Nicki) learnt the German tongue before he did philosophy, so that he would not have pronounced the English Show word either, in his name. The German "Scho" It's more akin to the Brooklynese way to say "Sure". So you guys are wrong twice, even though OP is a faggot.

I have some audio-books that pronounce the latter as you do also. It always sounds strange to me, but I suppose that's how they did it a few decades ago.
