Audio to greet us Jan 25, 2010

so you can have an audio pronunciation thing for it. Or can you just add one to the site someplace, so if the question arises again, people can just click on the pronunciation icon to hear the proper pronunciation. (Referring to Henry D's audio links.)

That's a great idea provided...this audio pronunciation will greet the visitor or member in her or his native language.

Sounds like the perfect job post for ProZ.com.
And it would be one that covers all the languages on this site.


Regards

Sorry, Fernanda, but... Jul 3, 2012

Aquila was correct. All four of her examples have identical pronunciation.

Although the pronunciation of the first three letters of 'prostitutes' (i.e. 'pro') is the same as the pronunciation of the first three letters of 'profit' (or 'prophet' for that matter), the pronunciation changes when 'prostitutes' is abbreviated to 'pros' - in the abbreviated form, it is indeed pronounced 'prose'...

why? Mar 27, 2019

did the creators have to name the website after my last name really? that really offends me, you'll know how I feel if you where in my shoes. and it's pronounced liked rose but you add a p in front so it goes like this p-rose.
