I know how I pronounce it but now I’m curious about the pronunciations of the other pronunciations.

I’ve personally only heard two different pronunciations of iron myself, eye-earn and one I would represent as eye-run. I’m assuming one of the other two is that but I’m not not sure which because of how difficult vowel sounds can be.

Eye-ron I would pronounce like the nickname for Ronald, rhymes with lawn, prawn, Don, etc.

And eye-wren would rhyme with Ben, den, ten, etc. I have a feeling I’m mispronouncing them in my head.

I pronounce it "eye-urn" but I make it as close to one syllable as I possibly can.

For me, earn and urn are homophones. How do you pronounce them? Is the ea in earn a bit closer to it is in the word ear?

Urn is pretty phonetic, earn is slightly more stretched at the start, it comes out as errn. But to most people they probably still sound the same.

Yeah, that all sounds right to me. The eye-wren pronunciation is extremely niche and I haven't heard it outside a very specific zone, so it's interesting to me that the poll is picking up responses outside of there

I remember really enjoying one of their early albums, back in the 2000s. But I'd sort of forgotten about them. So I just went and checked out the first half of "Antimai", and really loved it! Thanks for reminding me about them :) Quite different from my memory of their early stuff, don't remember there being so many swingin' horns and funky beats!

Can't wait to delve into the sci fi story behind it. I understand it's somehow connected to a short film they made, which sounds cool.

YESSSSS another dear hunter fan!!! and yeah it's definitely a completely different direction than their previous albums- very much enjoy that it's still telling a story like the Acts :)

and yeah the short film!!! i believe it was completely written and directed(?) by casey- i enjoyed it a lot. definitely a source of inspiration for me. have you taken a look at the Indigo Child album? it's the soundtrack for the short film :D

Oh. What’s that… is that a… discussion post on Marriage And Custody Act? Agh, it’s catching up… at least the thread isn’t anywhere near by, ri-

*screaming*

Okay in all seriousness, the proposal at vote is as stated above! It essentially aims to ban discrimination based on someone’s marriage status. As a part of this, it states that parents also cannot be discriminated in regards to parental duties or custody based on their marriage status. It also elaborates further, stating that legal guardianship of a dependent individual can only be revoked for a couple of exceptions (including to protect the dependent individual’s (“ward”) emotional, mental, or physical well-being). The thoughts of the ward are also mandated to be considered during such determinations of legal guardianship, if the ward has the ability to formulate their thoughts.

The first thing I want to say is that I really do appreciate that this resolution has some focus on the ward’s thoughts within this process. That was a pretty big point we had against Contact Rights Between Parent and Child, so it’s nice to see it incorporated. I can also understand the resolution’s overall aim and I do respect it. I’d be supportive of this resolution, but one thing prevents me from doing so.

Which is this clause:

The Ga Wroteeeee wrote:protect that ward's emotional, mental, or physical wellbeing;

I feel like this is still too open to misinterpretation and therefore abuse. As pointed out in Honey’s instarepeal, “emotional wellbeing” is a bit subjective, although I would argue “mental wellbeing” could be as well. As we brought up with Contact Rights, these terms can be utilized by nations to discriminate unjustly based on cultural prejudices. It may be better for future proposals of this nature to give an existing WA committee duties to elaborate on when/when-not can custody be revoked for emotional/mental well-being, as I feel trusting nations to utilize these terms properly is not really possible.

Therefore, I recommend voting AGAINST "Marriage And Custody Act".

I assumed it was iron, it honestly didn’t even occur to me that it could also be Iran. Iran is pronounced as eye-ran by most older folks here but the younger generations were taught to say it more like er-on.

Not taking the ward’s opinion into account at all was a huge issue I had with the previous resolution, and I also like that it also seeks to ban discrimination against children who are born outside of wedlock. But I do agree that the terms mental and emotional wellbeing need to be clearly defined, otherwise the whole resolution is easy to circumvent by claiming basically anything about the parents is damaging to the child’s mental wellbeing. I initially voted for but after reading arguments against it I changed my vote to against a couple days ago.

I just wanted to say that where I learned to talk, iron was simply pronounced "Ian" with a slight twisting of the tongue barely noticeable before the "n." Not like "eye-wren" or "eye-earn," where the r is distinctly pronounced.

I just enacted a law that makes internet algorithms have to show you the opposite of your opinions, and it made the Esteberian lifespan go down. How? Why? Is it because people die from being angry at the other opinions?

WN News Agency Presents:

WESLR in Space

WESLR has established the 6th branch of the WESLR Combined Armed Forces (WESLR: CAF), that being the Space Force! Space Force, or the WESLR: Combined Armed Forces: Space Defense Agency (WESLR CAF SDA) is an ongoing development, and are current plans for the HQ of SDA is to be in Ardendal, WE. As always Rejakhta will retain the Combined Naval Defense Force (CNDF) in Leresa, and the Combined Air Defense Force's HQ will be in Nidarsholm, St Leone.

To quote Commanding General Kr'xan of the Federal Space Defense Agency of WE:

"Space, now more than ever is important. Despite the time we have had in space, we have clogged the orbit of our precious world. This disastrous effect, Kessler Syndrome, will destroy everything in space, should we let it. The WESLR SDA will defend Refugia's space assets, and prevent Kessler Syndrome from getting worse."

WESLR SDA has its roots in the Federal Space Defense Agency of Waywards Edge, when the FSDA prevented the Kilo Asteroid from making landfall in late September of this year. The FSDA became an official defense force of WE in October and will be integrated into the new WESLR CAF SDA.

Yeah I definitely wouldn’t want to live there. The government isn’t even trying to be subtle. The demonym is even Evil, so everything is evil. Issues regularly talk about the Evil government, and there are sentences like “The frighteningly efficient Evil economy, worth 120 trillion Corpses a year” in the description.

At this point there’s no way to know if it’s actually evil or if the entire government is working together to troll the international community.

The Leonean Times

Today a representative of the Grand Council of Leone held a speech about the growing black market in St Leone.

They have announced more drastic measures in order to combat this growing zit within our great nation.

Some of the measures that have been put in place are as followed, but are not limited to:

1. Stricter border control

2. Increased police budget

3. Increased state-controlled markets and businesses

It now remains to see whether this approach will fix the black market crisis in St Leone, or if it will do more harm than good.
