Pronounced Tuesday, am I correct?

Well I don't think you pronounce the "t" in buffet, so it doesn't start with a T

No, not buffet. Buffet. As in Warren.

T as on tit would be less ambiguous
Edit: I just realized/actually read the whole thing. The whole point is that it is ambiguous 😑

" is dye " if the last word is gyroscope.
" is dee" if the last word is the Egyptian gyro food.
Edit: oh, snap. I re-read the as-in words. It's all ambiguous! lol😀

I sorta like that written English doesn't care how it's pronounced. However, I do think people should care less about spelling; if it's clear, it's done its job.

That is T as in Tea, U as in you, E as in ewe, S as in sea, D as in d'Taragnion, A as in aye, Y as in upsilon.
