@shantini E-num, with every awareness that it should technically be e-NOOM, fully disregarded for reasons of personal aesthetics.

@Halle @shantini hm. Don’t we also say “numbpad” instead of “noompad” (despite expanding to numeric keypad)? So that seems consistent to me

@chucker @shantini Yes, but the first part of "numpad" refers to "number," not "enumeration."

That said, I'm with @Halle on this. I know that technically e-noom makes more sense but it sounds cringeworthy and I just can't make myself do it.

@Halle @shantini For those of us who don’t peddle in yod elision (as much), there’s also e-nyoom

@jens @shantini I beg your pardon, how do you know the extent of my yod-dropping? 😂

@Halle @jens @shantini I thought your were taking umbrage at their opinion on your yodeling.

@carlrj @jens @shantini Also that.

@Halle @carlrj @shantini Surely anyone who would consider e-NOOM would also prefer ‘odeling over yodeling
