Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I hope you didn't mean it, but that is a really gross sentence with a slur phonetically.
That's... Not how you pronounce xi
I think the commenter might speak Portuguese, or Catalan, or Chinese. Any language where X is pronounced as SH
Huh? Phonetically it could sound like "ze males" with a thick German accent but that's not what I meant.
I quote:

Edit: I can kinda see where the slur is now, bur that's not how you pronounce (the Greek letter) "xi". Xi is pronounced /zaɪ/ ZY or /(k)saɪ/ (K)SY in English and [ksi] in Greek.
Isn't the greek equivalent of X Chi while Xi has more of an s sound?
I'm not a Greek expert, I just know what little math has taught me... 😅
The pronunciation thing came directly from Wikipedia because I was unsure how to spell it phonetically in English and then I threw the Greek pronunciation in because that's how it's pronounced in German too (since I am German and was only certain about the German pronunciation): Xi (letter)
It's also worth noting that the "ZY" or "KSY" pronunciations might be misleading to English speakers. The "Y" in both of those is actually like the vowel in "fly", not like in "baby".
