Slightly off-topic:
When talking about this in meat-space, the correct pronunciation of "Rimac" is "Reemats", and not "Rimmack", like Jeremy Clarkson always pronounces it on TV, which always annoys me to no end.
- 2Pacalypse- 3y agoThat is closer, but it's also not exactly correct. Now that I think about it, I don't think the English language has any sound where the letter "c" is used as it's pronounced in Croatian language. For example, the word "points" has the "ts" sound which is phonetically closest to the letter "c", but the the letter "c" is much sharper and shorter. Edit: just as I wrote that, a word popped into my head which has almost the same "c" sound: Pizza. The "zz" sound, if you can call it that, is closer to the "c" letter phonetically than "ts". So Rimac would be pronounced something like Reemazz.

- viraptor 3y agoUnless they add pronunciation to every article, I don't think that will change. It looks like an English word and will be mentioned in many English contexts. Why/how would anyone choose the alternative?
- richrichardsson 3y agoIn that specific context though Clarkson is supposed to be a journalist, the slightest bit of research would have gone a long way.
- rasz 3y agoWe will worry about pronunciation when the ship actual product, ok?
- richrichardsson 3y agoYou can't buy Rimac cars already? Well I know most can't afford a Rimac, but that's a different story... Specifically what annoys me about that is Clarkson is supposed to be a journalist, the slightest bit of research would have gone a long way.
