Help[Opinions] Oy gevalt! (m)
in reply to a message by Egyptian Princess
Brittany is bad enough, but that is just horrendous!
Also, it looks like it should be pronounced "BRIE-tah-nee" (IE as in I, me, myself). Not BRIH-ta-nee. Ys are not an acceptable replacement for every vowel! Most vowels can sound somewhat similar (Alizabeth and Alivia actually would be pronounced the same as their correctly spelled counter-parts by me, for example), but "y"s don't do that! They make a very specific non-schwa sound. Ai yi yi.
