Proper Pronunciations

[lostlakebear]

I've been calling it (Re Tat Tru tide) from day one. I like the way it sounds, I'll keep using it... I have the same approach when ordering Vietnamese cuisine.

Late to the party, but hey - I'm a newbie catching up. When I first saw the name, I immediately went to Ratatouille-tide (RAT-ə-TOO-ee-tide). I still struggle to release this abomination from my brain. I am so glad I don't have to say it out loud and humiliate myself.

That's amazing! Does she get seduced by a mysterious newcomer from Eastern Europe named Count Cagri Lintide?

Also seem to recall the kidz using 'pron' instead of 'porn' to bypass censoring on various platforms in the past.

I believe the young people are now referring to it as "corn."

I come from a time when we got around filters by changing two of the MIDDLE letters to get around filters, so I'm clutching my pearls over young people today doing it with rhymes. It's fun because I start to get huffy about it, then have to pause and reflect on how few REAL problems I truly have, and how nice it is to be mad about little stuff. Then I forget what I was doing and watch my cats make out.

I assumed it began with the emoji, and happened to rhyme. The eggplant I never really felt captured the essence, but the corn does a better job

And some monsters call it "seh-mag-lutide".

I'm going to challenge this on no good grounds. When I saw the Lilly CEO pronounce Retatrutide stupid (Re Tat Tru tide) I couldn't imagine how he got there and if that was how they actually wanted us to pronounce it. But it grew on me. I now like saying it that way, and I renounce the correct pronunciation. Am I the only one? Probably.

I'm the same. When I heard the original pronunciation I thought it was dumb. But now that I'm used to thinking and saying it like that, it's kind of grown on me.

oh my god, that never even crossed my mind. This is like how my ancestors would never have understood my no-compromises insistence on wearing low-rise boot cut jeans.

Because I know you wanted to know, here are the official pronunciations of some GLP-1 names from USAN (United States Adopted Names Council, which is responsible for assigning the nonproprietary names for drugs):

tirzepatide: [tir zep’ a tide] https://searchusan.ama-assn.org/usan/documentDownload?uri=/unstructured/binary/usan/tirzepatide.pdf

semaglutide: [sem" a gloo' tide] https://searchusan.ama-assn.org/usan/documentDownload?uri=/unstructured/binary/usan/semaglutide.pdf

retatrutide: [ret" a troo’ tide] https://searchusan.ama-assn.org/usan/documentDownload?uri=/unstructured/binary/usan/retatrutide-.pdf

cagrilintide: [ka” gri lin’ tide] https://searchusan.ama-assn.org/usa...i=/unstructured/binary/usan/cagrilintide-.pdf

Of course TRI-ZAP-ER-TUDE is the correct way to pronounce tirz.

Fortunately, most of my communication about these peptides is written. That means I don't have to pronounce these words correctly. I only need to write about them. Forchunately Ime gud att speling.

They're easier to spell and to pronounce if one simply sticks to the first syllable: tirz; sema; reta; and cagri.

Should we pronounce these words the same considering that we're from different countries? Should a Brit pronounce words like an American? Why would Canadians defer to the USAN pronunciation conventions? Granted the USAN isn't actually run by the US government, but it is run by three US organizations.

My ancestors wouldn't have approved of those either, but I'm from superwhite baptist Midwestern stock originally, so I was gonna get burned at the stake pretty much no matter what.

Those pronounced “daisy dukes” according to the usan council that is.
