"SBF" and "Bankman-Freid" are the same number of syllables, and the name is unique enough that only Sam comes up when you search the last name.
That said, I don't really care about the story and "SBF" is easier to remember, particularly compared to spelling "Freid."
- LarryMullins 4y ago> Freid It's pronounced as 'Freid' but spelled as 'Fried', as in "the bankman got fried" (being held over the coals.) That's how I remember it.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoYou'd think I'd notice Wikipedia telling me there's no pages with that term. Proves my point though, and I have no real need to remember it.
- Oxidation 4y agoIndeed, in general, German words with "ei" or "ie" sound like the second letter. So "Lied" (song) is more like "leed", but "Leid" (suffering) is "lyed". This is the reverse of how English pronounces "lied" as in the phrase "lied to investors".
