Help With Pronunciation

[grifpo]

How do you pronounce the DVX's lens? Like a dike omar? Am I the only one that finds this amusing?

LOL

I think that, phonetically, that is correct.

But the real question: Is it politically correct?

You're forgetting the Leica part, which could be pronounced licka. I can neither confirm or deny that but in theory, that would give you licka...nevermind. I don't want to get kicked out!!!

That's a big negtory, windsorguy. In German, when vowels come in pairs, it almost always the second vowel that gets pronounced in the long form. Ergo, Leica = like-a.

absolutely correct jack. We Germans pronounce the name of the lens "dee-koh-mar".
But I like the politically incorrect version better...

So is this correct: "Like a Dick Omar?" :

Who's Omar? Does he know he's been outed?

Yeah

I know how Leica is pronounced but I was having some fun. Combine "licka" with the first post here and well...
