@bb36e Why does it not suggest any pirate emojis?

They were pirated, which is the same as stolen, so they're no longer available for use.

Because lexicographically, dark_skin_tone comes before light_skin_tone and medium_skin_tone and that dropdown is only so high?

Because we don't have any (yet.) So naturally finds things that have a Levenshtein distance of the last number plucked from https://random.org for that build....

@ben_lubar yeah i assumed so. my point is that this solution system could effectively used as an RNG

Levenshtein

Please tell me it's a typo. No one would fuck up their family name so badly, would they?

Edit: fucking shit it's real.

Three years ago I was on vacation in Miami and there was this group of 3 Jewish boys (they were wearing their kippahs at the beach, that's how I know) in front of me in line for a boat trip. To buy the trip they had to tell the guy their surname (and spell it, too). I don't remember exactly, but let's say it was something like "Goldstein", and I was quite close to saying "that's not how you pronounce that". In German that'd be pronounced /ʃtaɪn/ but they said /stiːn/.

It seemed slightly culturally inappropriate for a German guy to tell some Jewish kids how to pronounce their name, so I refrained.

@topspin this exact thing is what prevented me from watching (as opposed to reading) any news about recent Hollywood sex scandal. It's Weinstein, not "ueensteen"!

To be fair, he was Russian, not German, so the German spelling isn't really relevant. And that is a perfectly cromulent transliteration of Левенште́йн into the Latin alphabet based on an English speaker's pronunciation of the Latin letter sequence.

I don't think I've heard a single person say "ween-steen" or "wine-stine" instead of "wine-steen"

[Gąska]

@ben_lubar probably because what you call "wine-steen" sounds more like "wayne-steen". Either way, it's wrong.

It may be wrong if it were a german word.
Now it's a surname and an USian at that, and names only have a passing connection to other words with regards to how they are pronounced.

@bb36e Actually it's because all the time at sea has given them a deep tan.

Most people (journalists at least) over here used "wine-stine" initially, and they are slowly adopting the (correct) "wine-steen". But when they do they are making an audible effort and it really sounds even weirder than when they are mis-pronouncing it.

pirigte

do an image search for "piriguete" and you'll see a large variety of female skin tones

edit: pirigte worked well enough:

Hmm. Quite.

[kazitor]

Okay, but explain this:

The final e limits it to tone. a,b,and dtrigger all give that, while c doesn't. to try other variations.

[bb36e]

@kazitor this will be fixed in the blockchain

I gather you haven't seen Young Frankenstein.

Nope, but I don’t live too far from a place called that, and I‘d be upset if it were pronounced differently.
