Two questions my dad would have if I showed this to him:
- How do I pronounce this?
- What does "poly-browser extension" mean?
It doesn't matter that it's cross-browser or even that it's an extension. Those are descriptions of the technical architecture. What matters is how it makes my life better: it improves Gmail by getting rid of ads, etc.
Perhaps my dad isn't your target audience. But it might be worth testing an alternate design that includes more accessible copy.
- evincarofautumn 14y agoI read it as G+melius /dʒiˑˈmɛliˌ(j)əs/, roughly like Gmail+ius /dʒiˑˈmeɪɫˌjəs/.
- frederico 14y agoi think you missed his point..
- evincarofautumn 14y agoWhat, because I used IPA? You can’t reliably describe a pronunciation in many other ways.
- wjbr 14y agoI read the original as an indirect question. Will anyone be able to pronounce this?
- evincarofautumn 14y agoI’m not sure how much it matters. People mispronounce “Imgur” all the time, yet it’s still widely used.
- xpressyoo 14y agoG[melius] to pronounce like Gmail+ius. "melius": better in latin.
