Re: Tuesday Open Thread (none / 1)

oy-row. And the ,,o" is not a diphtong. Just a long "o", not rolling sideways.

Actually it sounds like "héro"

but I don't believe none of what I hear. And only half of what I see.

Afew, Jérôme:

What matters is he. I know many children of poor people who are very right-wing.

I know you row, that's why the ship of ET is always on course. I was asking how you pronounce the you row expert I row's name.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

Written language! The script unites, the speech divides.
The Spanish Minister of Economy (De Guindos) is called now De Güindos (as De Windos).
And that is serious: in Spanish there is a phrase "fall from the cherry," which would not apply to our minister, if it is not pronounced well.

Guindo = cherry (tree)
"caerse del guindo"("fall from the cherry")= realize what is happening.
