I like the software, so I’ll overlook it’s shady deeds.
Never knew about Esperanto, but that was fun to learn about.
Next up: lojban
Lojban is so much easier to speak than Esperanto! We actually recently talked in
#lojbanon Libera about how to pronounce the word in question and our answer is something like{fordzeiio}if one likes the slinkuui semantics or{fordzei'o}otherwise.
It can still be pretty Euro-centric but it’s awesome to be able to communicate with people from any number of countries at the same time.
Forge Joe is how I pronounce it.
How many jay-o’s?
4JO
I say forge yo
Just like hotkinkyjo
Damn, didn’t know he was all kinky like that
For jay oh
I keep reading it as “four-gee-joe”, but I’m pretty sure that is not the right pronounciation.
As a speaker of Esperanto, I believe they used the Esperanto for the noun “forge” which is spelled ‘forĝejo’ with a facy-pants g-circumflex.
In Esperanto, the G with a hat is pronounced like the soft G in forge. The J is pronounced like the letter Y, like in the English word fjord.
So, I don’t know if the makers of the tool intended the Esperanto pronunciation to be used. But if it is, the pronunciation would be like forge-AY-o.
Ay yo!
Nice keyboard
Thanks. It’s the only swipe enabled keyboard I’ve found for my degoogled phone. They have their own F-Droid repo as well
