Nah, not until the 26th, trying to get a bit of work in before then because I need cash to take me through until my load comes in

How's your work going, macca?

Feeling somewhere between awehuhs and awehuhd today

That was meant to be loan not load, only just noticed that awehuhd

It could be worse

Mint, my macca

My finds so far point to W being pronounced as both 'W' and 'V' for different words, as well as there being different dialects of German on top of that, so that must be why even Germans mispronounce 'Werner Herzog'. Most sites have German people pronouncing the word and they all say 'Verner' as well.

Marius says the German W sound is in between the English W and V sounds, generally. It also varies a little with some words, like English.

It's similar to how the Japanese R sound is between L and R, so Japanese people have difficulty differentiating between L and R when they learn English - also English speakers have difficulty getting the R right in Japanese

Awesome, cheers! I was going to ask on Telegram but my phone's having storage issues and is being weird with various apps.

So does this mean I can pronounce 'Werner' either way and technically not be wrong either way? mhmm
