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?

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