The 'nephet' pronunciation makes it sound like there's a vowel between the N and P, but the 'enphet' makes it sound like there's a vowel before the N. As you say, this makes it seem like there should be a hyphen between the N and P.I just can't stop thinking that the way NPHET is pronounced is wrong. While I understand that it isn't actually a word and therefore there is no right/ wrong as such, to me, saying "nephit" makes it sound like there's a vowel between the N and P. I would prefer something like "enphet" although this might imply a hyphen between the N and P, but I think this is less offensive than implying a vowel. Every time someone says "nephit" in my head I say "enphet" and it's really TAing me!
How about pronouncing it like N'PHET? Just an N sound before the PHET.
(This doesn't bother me at all so I don't know why I'm posting about it!)
My trivial annoyance is that two toes on my left foot feel like they have blisters on them, but they don't. So I'm sort of limping around for no reason. GRRRRR!!!!0 -

Probably a Klingon, apt given the trend for toilet paper hoarding early on in the lockdown. 0 -

Could be a Vulcan either, since they like the odd apostrophed name, although they usually begin with T. (T'Pol, T'Pau, T'Pring). Having said that, I've never watched Star Trek.Aglomerado wrote: »Probably a Klingon, apt given the trend for toilet paper hoarding early on in the lockdown.

But if there is a hyphen between the N and P then you don't need a vowel before the N because you would just be saying 'N" as in the letter and then the word "phet"
The N'PHET has already been mastered by Mícheal and that's another TA actually because he sounds like Smithers when he says it..... Nyifit. Eugh. Perhaps we need the Portuguese Ñ 0 -

Whilst browsing around Tesco, a lovely lady caught my eye a few times.
The lovely lady approached me to talk to me. It must have been a good hair day or something.
She leaned in, pulled down her mask and began to.......see me walk away in disgust and wanting to kick her in the chest.the purple tin wrote: »What happened? Did she get sick or something?
Must be beating them off with a stick :pac:
Doesn't make sense that you described her as a lovely lady; perhaps "lovely" lady could have been used to lessen confusion..
TA restrictions, fines etc.. I want to know is it the law or not. Seems like this whole "giving advice" crap is just an exercise in solicitation to get them convictions and the coin :mad: Still in the dark about this 5k limit
and whether or not it's "unlawful"..... #BananaRepublic 0 -

I know. I agreed with that bit in my original post. (I like a nicely-used hyphen. (And overused brackets.)But if there is a hyphen between the N and P then you don't need a vowel before the N because you would just be saying 'N" as in the letter and then the word "phet"

I think I have loads of stuff to do here in work but I've only vague ideas of what I should be doing. I know how to do the 'tasks' but can't think of which I actually have to do.
I probably didn't explain that very well...0 -

YT is crap since Google took over.amadangomor wrote: »Like to throw on some music on Youtube when in the shower.
When one of those 4/5 min ads pops up :mad:
No I am not frigging interested in your revolutionary dental product and especially now as you've ruined half my shower time with that rubbish ad.
It used to do what it said on the tin and the suggestions were helpful and based on what you were looking at.
Now it is all ads and random crap in the sidebar that someone has paid google to push on you.
Also, go to the YT home page and have a look at some of the most watched videos. It is depressing the sort of rubbish young ones call entertainment nowadays 0
