Ich habe überlegt, das so darzustellen, aber Euler war Schweizer. Da würde das R sehr viel deutlicher betont werden als im Hochdeutsch von Deutschland.
The joke is about how many variations on pronouncing the name "Euler" there are (Ew-leer, Oiler, Yoy-lir, etc), via a key and peel sketch about alternate pronunciations of common names.
I once spoke to a philosophy professor who pronounced Nietzsche as though it rhymed with itchy. I didn’t correct him because I was 19 and felt intimidated, but at some point along his career, he wouldn’t have intimidated everyone, how does that even happen?
It was so good he got hired to do a Paramount commercial about it and according to an interview people on the street would yell out "AY AY RON" when they see him.
If they had gotten the same actor who played the college football player, that would have made it better. They made a call back to the sketch in one of the East-West Bowl sketches where a player is named AY AY RON.

With an English understanding of spelling, just say "Oiler"
PattyMcB@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 296d
I'll always read it as this because of the famous mathematician
Leonhard Euler https://share.google/VTLMfQn73y4pEbOet

Isn't that why the name is used?

You made that one up.
Edit: Upon reflection, I think this might be what I would phonate as "Ee-oy-lir", like "Eeyore", which I would accept.

The american southern accent is a fucking insult to all languages everywhere.

I ain't never heard nobody in Texas say it like that.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 296d
I don't think a lot of people from Texas are referring to Euler by name, but I'd imagine they'd be predisposed to "Oiler"

Even west virginnie and missisippah got engineers.

Do they say "Yoy-lir"?

I believe they were from Louisiana, though this was a while ago.

I can't see the name Aaron written out and not think "ay ay ron"

It being a real football player probably made a lot of people's day.

Luckily there’s a support group for all the Ay-Ay-Rons and Dee-Nices out there

I was more disappointed than I'm willing to admit when Dr Robotnik pronounced it incorrectly in Sonic 3
