Hey! How do *you* pronounce AUR?

submitted by

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?

I pronounce it "AUR" of course.

Arr.

I just enjoy feeling like a pirate at any opportunity.

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

I pronounce it AUR btw.

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

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"

"For Aduun!"

I hear an ancient voice, whispering from the Void, and it chills my lightless heart

Sometimes I forget I have a video game tattoo lmao

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

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)

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

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.

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.

reason to say it out loud

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

English: [ɔ:]. It rhymes with "dinosaur".
Portuguese: [ä'uɾ]. Basically how it's spelled.

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.

It's the "arrrrrr" matey!

Same way I say arch, but without the ch
