For a norwegian (ØÆÅ, there you go, proof enough?), seeing someone
misspelling traffic as "træfik" immediately makes me think about some
guy from out in the country, with a semi-thick norwegian dialect and
bad, bad norw-english pronounciation.
"Træfik".
Americanized, with full prejudice, my best træfik character-impression
would be "Hey y'all. Howdy doodely do! What'cha got going on here in
the barn? Because that ain't no country or western I know!"
You get the picture :)
- emilevauge 11y agoIt comes from http://phonemicchart.com/transcribe/?w=TRAFFIC http://phonemicchart.com/transcribe/?w=TRAFFIC ;)
- imron 11y agoIt may well do, but I certainly don't want to visit that page every time I want to type the name.
- emilevauge 11y agoThe project on Github is simply traefik without the æ, so it should be ok :)
- jharger 11y agoAs a native American English speaker, when I see that, I really want to pronounce it as "tree-fik", in a similar way as we would pronounce caesar... maybe even make it really weird and say "tray-ee-fik" and that just isn't pleasant to say. :)
