> forced to say “space sex” out loud
Unless your spoken English isn’t very good, it’s quite clear there is no “s” sound in the second half.
Say “space sex” out loud and yes you’ll hear two distinct ‘s’ sounds. Not at all the same as “space ex”.
- sph 2y agoDude, "SpaceX" sounds more like "space sex" than it does "sausage". It is literally one IPA consonant sound away. Of course it's not the exact same sound, but it's bloody similar and it's a throwaway tongue-in-cheek comment from GP. Are you and the sibling comment robots that don't get word play?
- bufferoverflow 2y agoSpaceX sounds exactly like "space ex". Everything else is dishonest bs.
- EasyMark 2y agoNice to know that variations in spoken English are still used to segregate people into good and not very good groups rather than merit or personality. I apologize ahead of time for not using a solid Midwest Accent annunciated as per traditional evening news.
- kortilla 2y agoIn which accent do you not pronounce the ‘s’ in sex? I’ll wait
