[21:45] <Remco32> Why call you game something unpronounceable, Just call it 'The Peppy Rhythm Game Project (PRGP)'
[21:45] <lukewarmholiday> its not unpronounceable
[21:45] <eirrol> exactly
[21:45] <awpwok> osu! is easy to pronounce

Needs a third option for people that didn't know but learned before the video. ;x

That, unfortunately, is the group I fall in to. I never made the correlation to the ouendan 'OSS' shout and osu.

I've played Ouendan 1 and 2, so I knew how to pronounce it.

Placeholder signature. Will probably replace this tomorrow.

I knew how to pronounce it... I just choose not to as people look at me more crazy than they do when I say "o-soo"

I played Ouendan, then I learned how to pronounce it properly.
However, I pronounce this game o-soo, because I sometimes talk about it to people, and it sounds a bit like arse the way I say it.

I played Ouendan before Osu! and of course know the correct pronounciation.

I pronounce it "oh-su" because i think it sounds better. Saying "oss" in regular speech feels too weird to me. But then again, I barely ever have to pronounce the word anyway...

I pronounce it "os" as in "host," but in my head I always read it as "osooooo."

I know its "oss", but I prefer to say "oh-su" because my friends would go "what?"
