really confused here because i am primarily an english speaker and i pronounce it yow-ee but i ALSO speak japanese, and knowing how to pronounce the word in japanese, yow-ee seems like a perfectly fine anglicization of the word and yah-oi does not. i feel like separating all the vowels (ya-oh-ee) is the closest to whats "correct" but that just sounds really awkward in american english
Completely unrelated to my blog content but I have to settle a dispute between my partner system and I.
Here’s the little disagreement under the cut:
My psys insisted that it was pronounced “yow-ee” and when corrected, then said that the way I pronounce it (the Japanese pronunciation—“yah-oy” or “ya-oh-ee” and the correct one) isn’t the way she has always heard English speakers say it. I’ve never Ever heard it pronounced like this, even among those that don’t speak Japanese. I’m curious if it just happened to be her friend groups or if this is as widespread as she says!

One of the best things you can do when cooking for yourself is to always double the portions in a recipe so you have leftovers for when you don’t feel like cooking. One of the worst things you can do is trying to fuck the garbage disposal.
one time i fell asleep with a half eaten bag of chips on my chest and while i was napping one of my cats jumped up on me and chewed up the bag and sent the chips flying everywhere and a bit later i woke up completely covered in shredded bag and chip pieces and the last thing i remembered i had started eating some tasty chips so for a short while i was convinced i had blacked out and gone into some sort of uncontrollable chip frenzy
I’m actually the opposite of transgender. I look at women and I’m like damn they’re so cool I wish I was a woman and then I remember I’m literally a cis woman.
There’s a serial killer in your town. Unfortunately for them you are a necromancer and you have fun driving that maniac insane.
if you see a woman driving poorly it’s sexist to assume that it’s because she’s a woman. maybe she’s still learning. maybe she’s doing it on purpose because she’s an asshole. maybe she feels entitled to the road. maybe she’s going to die soon and she had vehicular manslaughter on her bucket list. maybe she has a car crash fetish
