minus-squareBjörn@swg-empire.delinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoNow I wonder if I pronounce bus or Anubis incorrectly.
minus-squaresamus12345@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year ago“Anubis” is the Greek version of his name, so it’s probably pronounced something like AH-noo-beece, with the emphasis on the first syllable.
minus-squareBjörn@swg-empire.delinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoSo bus is really pronounced beece. Thank you.
minus-squaresamus12345@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoNah, it’s just not a great pun.

Nah, it’s just not a great pun.
