might be the worst thing anyone has said to me in my life actually

yeah… americans will do that

(it sounds hilariously silly imo)

eikopf.dev•20 days ago

why do americans do this to all our animals… like also saying “duck-billed platypus” and “koala bear” instead of just platypus and koala

which would make you go more ballistic: e-moo, or EH-muh?

texoport.in•20 days ago

or ... EH-myu

If im not talking about some jerk birds, im pronouncing it em-you since its likely in reference to an emulation layer.

that's how it's pronounced 😭

i am now intercontinentally ballistic

australians say /iːmjuː/

eikopf.dev•20 days ago

more accurately, every dictionary writes it that way. people who have never heard the word emu spoken out loud before say /iːmu/

I gueeeeeeeeeeess the Australian pronunciation is better since emus are from there
