I've heard it GROI-per /gɹɔɪ.pɝ/

/gɹɔɪ.pɝ/

I always find these funny, I know the intent but so very rarely is it helpful. I’m probably just too dumb to figure it out

[–] ArchEngel@lemmy.ca 10 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Ahh, yes of course, G-RICE-PE... I am sure there are people out there who know what those cursed letters mean, but it ain't me either.

Yeah but remember the R is an upside and backwards lowercase r sound. Not a standard R sound

[–] chellomere@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

That's because the English r sound is a weird one.

It's really really useful if you're a linguist, a certain kind of autistic, or willing to consult the IPA chart and sound out a bunch of common words

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

There's probably a site somewhere where you paste it and it gives you the sound.

Google translate seems to not have the phonetic alphabet, but there's probably something out there that has it.
