2 months agoMan this Olympics have been extremely disappointing on these aspects, for me personally I began to tune out during the initial ceremony when they started to pull the whole minions scene they did. It just feels like either a cash grab or a corporate scam.
Since we’re on the topic there’s this historical word that I haven’t heard pronounced in English, Alexander the Great had a bunch of generals that were called the Diadochi, I haven’t seen this term pronounced in English, but recently I’ve taken into account the way English speakers pronounce words and I was wondering if the way I’m pronouncing it in English is correct or if I am just wrong.
I’ve been pronouncing it in an English context as: “Die-a-Dough-key” I’m no linguist so I’m not sure how to write pronunciations sorry if it looks dumb.
