Right right right

and that would be ... ?


Oh, I found the video on her Youtube channel literally addressing this question back in 2016:

and that would be ... ?

...the correct pronunciation.

Did you read the rest of my post? You can't say "correctly pronounce it", and then not give instruction. That doesn't help anyone.

If the video specifically made to teach you how to pronounce her name didn't help, what makes you think I can?

Your original post tells us to pronounce it the way she says it, but doesn't actually show us how she says it.

How did you expect us to pronounce it correctly if we haven't heard her say it?

Because I'm not her. You figured it out and found a video on your own, you clearly didn't need me. Why would I know better than her how to pronounce it?

I didn't. I presumed that if someone cared enough, they would find an appropriate video; that presumption was proven correct. But I never expected anyone to do anything, certainly not to get so incredibly butt-hurt by mild sarcasm.

You didn't link to that video.

I never said I did.

You referred to it retroactively.

Yes, because to refer to it in any other way would have required precognition, which I unfortunately lack. My bad?

That's... exactly the point...

That I don't have precognition? Ok good, glad I could help you make that point! In the future, you can just assume everyone you meet lacks precognition, because it's not real. I know that sounds almost like it's own form of precognition, but it's not, it's just good reasoning.
