    Using an Æ without being able to pronounce it is both offensive and hilarious to me as a Dænish person

          According to Wikipedia there are 4 pronunciations in Norwegian alone, none of which are “ash”.

          I initially thought it was pretty much like ä, but apparently that’s only one of the possible pronunciations.

              Based on their relationship post-Luigi, I’m pretty sure you pronounce X Æ A-12 as “Kevlar”.

              Now daddy is going to stand in front of an open window, so it’s time for a piggyback ride little Kevlar!

              Yeah it’s certainly easier to pronounce than Xäa12 would be. But I mean if the muskmelon is just picking pronunciations he likes for letters, it can be absolutely anything. Maybe it’s actually Shanty
