How have you been murdering my screen name?
« on: March 17, 2024, 08:12:42 PM »
In your head, how have you been pronouncing my screen name all these years?

Codeguy and Financeguy are all set, of course.

Oh, and I’m sure Mr. Bourke will pop by to say even they are saying it wrong and that their mothers should have made an appointment with a slippery elm stick while there was still time, then log off in a whisky-fueled rage without saying what it “should” be.

I assumed it was the name of your favourite malt.

I actually live in Dun Laoghaire, so it would be a bit sad if I didn’t know how to pronounce it.

There is a great SNL skit where Liam neeson complains about Americans mispronouncing Irish names.

Siobhan - Shiv-awn
Tadgh - Thai-g
Londonderry - Derry. The entire first two syllables are silent
Dun Laoighre - Dunn-Leery

If the Irish didn’t come up with these names when they were 2 bottles in we wouldn’t have problems with the pronunciation.

Lol. "I was born in Londonderry, I was born in Derry city too", to quote Neil Hannon's great song "Sunrise".
