That system called Wyrd...

Sorry, Ozram beat you by a minute like you're a redheaded stepchild.

Apparently that's still a thing.



Save the Gingers! They're a dwindling precious planetary resource.

LOL, yeah, I really misread that one! XD

 

[Xious]

Wy - as in 'why'

rd - as in... ummm... rd

Why - rd

 

[Bottom Hat]

If Vanilla Ice goes there, you can guarantee yourself that it is "word, to your mother"....

 

[Remus]

That's a wyrd name for a system if you ask me.

 

[Jenner]

Wyrd to your mother.

 

[Para Handy]

I don't understand the difficulty in pronouncing Wyrd...

.... so not weird or wired and never word, just plain wyrd.


I bet if you can't pronounce wyrd that you call Björk, Beeyyoorrkk (instead of Byerk, rhymes with jerk).

It's just the Elite Potato/Tomato "let's just call the whole thing off" thang.

I hope that's one of the reasons you see so many wedding barges contemplating bailing on the ceremony

I am now wondering how Americans might pronounce it. I mean like you know they pronounce buoy as booeee so I just wonder.

(P.S. This is not an anti-American thing, just a tease really. I have to admit though it is probably not my winningest tease. )

Honestly I assumed it was 'weird' too.

Reminds me of a botanist who once quipped "You say lichen, I say liken, lets call the whole thing moss".

 

[yolomcbobbinz]

I always pronounce it word

 

[jasonbarron]

I think the proper pronunciation is "Veerdenstein." That's how I say it anyway.

Exactly like 'weird'.

Others might pronounce it very differently, depending on where they are from and who they learned to talk from.

no sense from a phonetical point of view.

Neither does English.

NOT Veerdenstein??? Are you sure?

 

[Vasco Sapien]

Is it pronounced as "weird" or "word"?

CMDR Un1k0rn, asking the real questions since 3280.

I think its pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove.

[dayrth]

I've always called it weird, but in English that spelling would properly be pronounced wired. Probably going to keep calling it weird though

..........

So does that mean that over there fjord is the name of a car automobile manufacturer? (See, even my spell-checker does a technicolour chunder at "automobile".)

 

[The Lawful]

Cruel, but the truth. Face it.

[Trafalgar Law]

Wyrm, wyvern, wyrd.
All those examples with weird or wired make no sense from a phonetical point of view.

This is English we're talking about it often doesn't make sense phonetically e.g. bough, rough, cough, though and through.

Edit: thinking about it there's also thought and thorough
