Message-ID: <1537545851.local-6c5479b7-e8aa-v1.4.2-f587b7b7@getmailspring.com> Hello, My name is Michael Tunnell and I represent TuxDigital. I am going to start making examples of how to say the names of various Linux projects. Below is a link to an mp3 of me pronouncing the name of your project. I left off the wm portion because I think it is just saying the letters themselves. Please clarify the accuracy or lack thereof for the following pronunciation. https://tuxdigital.com/media/howtopronounce/herbsluft-inquiry.mp3 From me at the-compiler.org Fri Sep 21 22:30:26 2018 From: me at the-compiler.org (Florian Bruhin) Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2018 22:30:26 +0200 Subject: How to Pronounce herbsluftwm?

In German, the name of the letter W is "We", i.e. "web" without the "b", and not as long as the English "double you". So I usually prounce "WM" German "We 'Em" or as "window manager". It's essentially the same issue as for "www", for which "worldwideweb" is much shorter than saying "double you" three times.

Message-ID: Excuse me, I never read IPA. What I always read is those symbols: https://www.merriam-webster.com/help/pronunciation-key . Sometimes I read https://merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day . For example, GLAYD is the sound of glade, bye-AN-yuh-wul is the sound of biannual, etc.
