minus-squareThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoQuick question is it pronounced “you be soft” or “oo be soft”?
minus-squaremacabrett[they/them]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-24 months agoIt stands for Ubiquitous Software, so it’s “you be soft”.
minus-squareOdum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months ago“oo be soft” because they’re a French company (at least originally). The “you” sound for U isn’t really in their language.
minus-squareThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoI’ve always said it with “you” but that makes sense. I was only curious because of the “an” before ubisoft in the comment I replied to. If it was the “you” sound it wouldn’t feel right to say out loud and it confused me lol Thank you for the lesson!
minus-squareerwan@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoIt’s neither. The French “U” sound doesn’t exist in English so I can’t really give an example from an English word. That said, being a global company they’re probably fine with the default English pronunciation that would be “you be soft”.
