LkdcPeople on Mastodon often refer to residents of the United States as "USians". This avoids the use of the word "Americans", which some non-US people in South America, Central America, and North America think should apply to all people in the Americas. This makes sense to me, and now I often write "USian".I would like also to use the word "USian" in spoken conversation, but I don't know the correct pronunciation. Can anyone tell me how to pronounce it? Should I spell it out, saying "U-S-I-A-N", or is there another pronunciation of fewer syllables?<a href="https://dmv.community/tags/USian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USian</a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/pronunciation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pronunciation</a>

Graham DownsBiopic is a portmanteau of "biographical picture".Hence, it should be pronounced BIOpic. It does not rhyme with myopic.

Kagan MacTane (he/him)I really wish the person running this meeting would stop pronouncing the word "checkbox" as if it were "chexbox" (or checksbox?).I'm not even going to speculate about how she pronounces "asterisk".
