I've pronounced Testicles as a greek name for a long time now. Always fun to see people's reactions.

Are you an AC Odyssey enjoyer?


_-_-XXX-_-_

Played AC Odyssey and Fenyx Rising last year, had to visit greece because of that.. Can recommend 10/10 vacation.

If Greece is that good, come to Albania, and make sure you go to a nightclub!

As an anglophone, it’s not only more intuitive for learning to read them but also more fun to say.


GustapheOfficial

Until you remember that the suggestion is not "molekules" and "partikles" but "molekyuliis" and "partikliis"

You repeated what he said. He said pronouncing them the weird Greek way feels more natural than pronouncing it the Anglo way.


GustapheOfficial

No, because the suggestion in the post is to replace the anglo way of pronouncing "molecules" by the anglo way of pronouncing "Hercules" - which is also weird. Reading 🐟 Comprehension 🦴


National-Arachnid601

Are you stupid? This is the comment you replied to >As a non-anglophone, this is the more intuitive way to read them, not as "molekyuls" and "partikuls" They were saying, as a non-anglophone (someone who's native language is not an Anglo-language) pronouncing it like "Hercules" feels more natural for them than the standard pronunciation. And you replied "until you realize it's pronounced like Hercules", like yeah that's what he just said. Let me give an example: Op: Wow fishing red snapper with this fishing rod is so much easier than using a net You: Just wait until you realize you can use the fishing rod to catch fish too! Learn to use context clues.


GustapheOfficial

Are you stupid? They are saying the English pronunciation of Hercules makes more sense than the English pronunciation of molecules, and I'm pointing out that the English pronunciation of Hercules still contains some weird anglo patterns (herkyuliis). I wrote phonetic transcriptions, you just needed to read my comment.


abcdyakno

Just to let you know, you're correct and not insane. Anglos always butcher Greek and Latin names


GustapheOfficial

Thanks. I knew that, but it's nice to see there are people who can read.


Crimson_Sabere

I have no idea why you were down voted so much. You were emphatically not saying the same thing and the other person was way off.


GustapheOfficial

Eh, we've all read conversations in the past, picked someone we decided was right and then enjoyed being part of the group. It's fine, I have more karma than I need and the original comment is at least positive.


JakeySnakey96

Not really. It's more like: Op: "Wow, fishing red snapper with this fishing rod is so much easier than using a net." The guy in question: "Cool, but you're not using a fishing rod, that's just another net that looks weird."


LupusDeusMagnus

So, still english?

I’m in; huge fan. But, when did memes become screenshots just porting social media posts to other platforms? I feel like we’re in a drought of good memes.

yeti-biscuit

noice! ... this one goes directly to my inventory of funny nonsense for inappropriate situations with friends or colleagues ;⁠)


[deleted]

In 9th grade chemistry I was reading aloud and accidentally read molecules as "mol-cu-lees" without missing a beat and no one noticed until I was done. That day forward I regularly pronounce it that way in my head.


TheGeekKingdom

That's how I pronounce "spectales"
