Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You know the famous mage from Forgotten Realms? I pronounce their name "EL-ah-min-ster"
Oh, I also have a terrible Boston accent so I nearly caused an HR incident when talking about "hooked horrors" aka "hookt ho-ahs" or as my coworker heard "hooked whores". Horror is the best word to check for a Boston accent with.
"jaws" is an equivalent of that for a metro NY accent. i could never hear my own accent until someone had me say it and really listen for it. now if you'll excuse me i need to walk my dawg to the cawfee shop
What? Why? There’s not even an A in Elminster.
Because I misread it initially as Eliminster and because my mispronunciation became a meme between my friend group. It is cemented forever in my brain as Eliminster.
