As you may expect, this tale concerns a certain Genji. The ji in Genji is the rendaku pronunciation of the honorific 氏/shi, and the Gen is the alternate reading for the surname 源/Minamoto. Despite this, the translation “Mr. Minamoto’s Story” has not caught on among scholars.

Just thinking about a good friend of mine who pronounces Nike as if it rhymes with "bike". While I am most familiar with people pronouncing it like it rhymes with "crikey". Is the "bike" pronunciation common?

Genuine question, why does it feel like GIF is the only word that makes people so angry when others pronounce it differently from them? I've never seen fervent arguments on the internet about the "correct" pronunciation of "data" or "route."

"Those Who Carried on" by this song one of my favorite songs by GHOST. What I love most about the song is definitely the tuning, like GUMI and YOHIOloid sound so good together and the English pronunciations were actually quite understandable.

Your pronunciation is so clear that even I can catch what you said around 50 percent. It's very good for training English listening skills. And you are interesting. Thank you, SHARK!

I legit have birthdates, magical preferences, and freaking pronunciation guides for my characters.

Here's one of my favorite!

Tom Scott essentially says both pronunciations of "GIF" are valid, but all the discussion is basically what my first comic was about. https://t.co/uEMAjnB8Wi

DAY 20: FAR DARRIG
The far darrig or fear dearg is a faerie of Irish mythology. The name far darrig is an Anglophone pronunciation of the Irish words fear dearg, meaning Red Man, as the far darrig is said to wear a red coat and cap.

In that case, I'll tell you!

He's my personal character, in which I call a behemoth. He's based on various mammals and a dragon, with a second sentient head on his tail and nub-like horns.

His name's Maikode, but can go by Mako for easier pronunciation

I hope that clears it up
