Hey! How do *you* pronounce AUR?

In reference to the Arch User Repository, do you say Ore? Arr? Our? Do you say A U R? Or do you just say the full Arch User Repository?

Ay Yew Arr

...but if they renamed it Arch Interactive User Repository or Arch Internet User Repository, I have no problem switching to pronouncing it "eye-urr"

Arr.

I just enjoy feeling like a pirate at any opportunity.

KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 281d

Exactly. Imagine intentionally turning down the opportunity to Arrrrr at people.

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 10 pts · 281d

Like "aurum" without the "um."

MagnificentSteiner@lemmy.zip · 10 pts · 281d

I pronounce it AUR btw.

(In all seriousness I pronounce it like Aura without the 2nd A)

Vulwsztyn@programming.dev · 6 pts · 281d

coming from a language with consistent pronunciation I pronounce it "aur" like other comments said, like "aurum" or like in Portuguese - how it is written)

Like I am a Protoss Zealot giving my life.

A-U-R for me, personally.

Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club · 6 pts · 281d

A U R. It rolls off the tongue pretty easily.

In Dutch, au is a fixed diphthong that's part of many of our normal words. /ʌu/... approximately. So that's how I pronounce it... in my head. I don't think I've ever really had reason to say it out loud.

lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 281d

reason to say it out loud

But then how do you tell everyone you meet where to find extra packages..? Asking for a friend

Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 281d (1 reply)

I have not been initiated into any of this. I'd pronounce it like "aura" without the a, and a longer R

ulterno@programming.dev · 1 pts · 279d

I'd speak it that way to myself.
But when telling others, I just go with the safer "A.U.R.", because almost every time I am speaking, it is to someone who is hearing it the first time.

In English, Ey-You-Arr.

In Swedish, diphtonged Aw-ur, pretty similar to Our but with a more pronounced aaah sound. A-U-R would be two glottoal stops (Ahh-Uuh-Err) and is pretty uncomfortable to pronounce in Swedish.

Ahhhooooer

Ah • R

Crybb@programming.dev · 3 pts · 281d

 А У Р

thingsiplay@beehaw.org · 3 pts · 281d

Definitely not like OUR (in the sense of owning from community perspective). No seriously, I pronounce it like most do and say each letter on their own like a pirate.

tangonov@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 281d

It's the "arrrrrr" matey!

fascicle@leminal.space · 2 pts · 281d

Same way I say arch, but without the ch
