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?

Ey You Arr.
No, I’m not.
Like a pirate.
I pronounce it “AUR” of course.
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
Like “aurum” without the “um.”
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.
Arr.
I just enjoy feeling like a pirate at any opportunity.
Exactly. Imagine intentionally turning down the opportunity to Arrrrr at people.
A U R
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 pronounce it AUR btw.
(In all seriousness I pronounce it like Aura without the 2nd A)
our
A-U-R for me, personally.
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.
A U R. It rolls off the tongue pretty easily.
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, though.
reason to say it out loud
But then how do you tell everyone you meet where to find extra packages…? Asking for a friend
