How is Plomp pronounced?

[MikeH]

Thanks for the PHd.

[Robert]

But the o in go and the o in robot are the same.

The 'o' in 'robot' is pronounced like the 'o' in 'on'.

[MikeH]

No, that's how the o in Robert is pronounced.

[Al B. Sure!]

Oh and in American English, Robert and Robot are not pronounced alike.

In American English, Rob- sounds just like the word rob (to steal from someone) and rhymes with Bob, lob, etc. We say the 'b' in the first syllable of the name.

We then repeat the b for the bert (so Robert is pronounced like a combination of two nicknames, Bob and Bert). Bert rhymes pretty closely with hurt.

Row row row robot, gently down the stream.

Yeah when Plomp and Zoets were giving me the "like the 'o' in ___", I didn't know how to take it because I imagined Dutch people would pronounce English words in non-Native English speaker ways... as in English wit an accent.

To be clear to Plomp, MikeH is referring to the FIRST 'o' in robot is the same as the 'o'.

ORLY?
Didn't got that. Seriously, without your explanation I would not have gotten that. Seriously thanks.

And I speak flawless english. Especially if it concerns the very difficult word 'go'

[Al B. Sure!]

Robert sounds like robber but with a t at the end.

[MikeH]

I meant the second o.

I know, that's why I told you that it's pronounced like in "Go"
It's the french way you pronounce it. I know that the French and the Yanks are very close :P

No it doesn't. I'm not French.
For it to be pronounced like that it should have been "Robbert"

[Robert]

I meant the second o.

There's no 2nd "o" in Robert.

Robert does NOT rhyme with yogurt!

[MikeH]

So your name is Robot Plump?

Cool.

[MikeH]

No wonder you were CyberShy.

Too fat to leave the robot house.
