On: How the Å came to be

[asfdsfggtfd]

This sort of interesting article is exactly what I come to Hacker News for.

[tritium → asfdsfggtfd]

It didn’t get interesting to me, until I was quickly corrected by more than one person. Is the phonetic pronunciation... what is the pronunciation for Å in English?

[vegardx → tritium]

It's satire, and a little funny. They have the correct pronunciation for Norwegian at least, it's similar enough in Danish and Swedish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f488uJAQgmw

[repsak → tritium]

As the o in 'more'

[asfdsfggtfd → tritium]

Similar to English "o" (more so than the Scandinavian o). It is one of the easier vowel sounds. Ø and y and u are far harder for English speakers.

[jpttsn → tritium]
