@lowqualityfacts I mean... now i do... with a very solid bad Sean Connery accent
@lowqualityfacts I don't. No person I physically know has ever heard of it. (sighs)
@lowqualityfacts
Well obviously it is 'Mash-To-Own'... This isn't 'X'
@lowqualityfacts I'm convinced there are only wrong ways to pronounce that word
@lowqualityfacts mastodonte, je suis francophone
@lowqualityfacts Nyan - sto - (silent d) - on ;D
@lowqualityfacts I donโ€™t. I just hum a slower, furrier rendition of "the Elephant" from Carnaval des animaux, and everyone knows what I mean.
@lowqualityfacts with a silent diphthong at the end.

@lowqualityfacts it's a diphthon-don.

True story.

@lowqualityfacts I need more time how many minutes in a few ?
@lowqualityfacts ok well *going forward...* ๐Ÿ˜’
@lowqualityfacts What's the difference between the options? The right way is Mash-too-own, no?
@lowqualityfacts There is no "totally wrong" option here. I pronounce it Finnish style, i.e. wrong, but I just don't care. หˆmษ‘stodon
@lowqualityfacts @lisamelton so there are about 18% of mastodonners who just f*ck up serious questions. ๐Ÿ˜‚
@lowqualityfacts new mindvirus just dropped
@lowqualityfacts do people donโ€™t vote on polls anymore de heck
@lowqualityfacts looks like everyone who voted โ€œthe right wayโ€ commented with their right way, while the other voters simply made silly quips.
