How do you pronounce the hyphen in double barrelled names?

[–] GamingChairModel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The hyphen can provide indicators on how to parse the letters on either side. "Pen-Island" would be pronounced differently from "Penisland."

There's a guy I follow on the internet called "penusbmic", and he claims it's supposed to mean "Pen, USB, Mic".

Whatever you say, Penus B. Mic.
