      Remus, it's "Brown". How do you pronounce Audi?

        Still ... the point he makes about the dinosaurs and the nuclear codes sent a shiver down my spine.

        Amigos, vote responsibly.

          ... whining about American politics is nice πŸ˜„ , but let's not turn a blind eye on the situation in BelgiΓ«/La Belgique/Belgien.

          Our federal government has been indulging in a somewhat distasteful ideological circle jerk for the past 15 months, rather than atcually running the country.

          Pisses me off.

            Boo, i genuinely cant work out another way of saying 'braun', please show me the error of my ways in simple phonetics πŸ˜›

            Alan is right, it is pronounced exactly like the color Brown.
            Here is a short bio of him if you like:

            Alan, if I ever heard someone mispronounce Braun and Nuclear in the same sentence I think my head would explode.

              Howdy without the aitch.

              For me, it's Brawn; Nike, rhyming with Bike; Adidas is add-i-dass, not a-dee-dass. If these companies want to tell me my pronunciation is wrong, they can go and take a running jump.

                That was my point, John. If Braun is "Brawn" then Audi ought to be "Audey" and Strauss ought to be "Straws" πŸ˜‰

                  OK, this is turning into pedants corner, but while we're on the subject: "expresso", "pillow rice" (pilau rice) and not a mispronunciation, but just cringingly embarassing, the phrase (and thinking behind it) "freedom fries". 🀒

                    Yes, freedom fries is just daft. They should be called what they are...anorexic chips. πŸ˜‰

                      personally ive never really seen the need to distinguish between fries and chips, can their really be enough difference between 2 deep fried pieces of potato to warrant a new name?

                        I keep seeing all these really shiny bike bits that would go rather nicely with my new bike, then i check my bank balance, then i lust after the bike stuff a bit more, an check my bank balance just to check no money has magically appeared. It is a sad state of affairs 😞
