OK. Having failed to get a sensible (or any) answer regarding the above, may I prevail upon you lovely people to do a little survey.

Do you pronounce Pprune?:
1 - prune (as in the dried fruit)
2 - pee prune (as it looks and sounds
3 - Some other way (tell us!)

Ta.

Pee prune.

Can't stand the thought of that second P being silent.

Haven't we just had a thread about this?

http://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/490326-pprune-pronunciation.html

Come to think of it, I hardly ever utter the word but if I do, ie recommend it to a friend, as I did recently, I would say ''prune but it's spelt p-p-r-u-n-e'' and explain why. IMHO it's common sense!

Having failed to get a sensible (or any) answer regarding the above,

You actually expected a sensible answer to your question in your other thread?


The mind is now completely boggled..........

Do you pronounce PPRuNe?:
1 - prune (as in the dried fruit)
2 - pee prune (as it looks and sounds
3 - Some other way (tell us!)

Yes - all of the above, with the answer to question 3 being pee pee arr you enn eee followed by Professional Pilots' Rumour Network (I'm presuming that there would be more than one professional pilot).


I had the occasion to approach a stranger and enquire whether he might be a member of this forum, so I utilised all options in order to explain myself (and avoid offending him by apparently calling him a prune).

I recall wandering into a pub, in which I was a total stranger, and gazing round in a confused manner. Upon which I was approached by a rather attractive female who asked me 'If I was to say "Prune" to you would it mean anything'.

Haven't we just had a thread about this?

Yeah, was wondering where my post went.

I recall wandering into a bar, in South Carolina in which I was a total stranger, and gazing round in a confused manner, and some ugly bint asked me if I'd come for a shag.
All I could do was splutter "sorry I'm no good at that kind of thing" and run to the bar.
God she was UGLY
Only later did I find out what she'd meant

For those of us wondering........

Thanks you for your replies and apologies that a thread that I started degenerated into the usual (put whichever adjective you consider is suitable).

well what do you expect if you pointlessly duplicate a thread from two days ago?
As has already been pointed out
http://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/490326-pprune-pronunciation.html

Does this make the Professional pilots Prunes? What of those who have no afilliation with aviation? Pruneless? What of the fairer sex? Prunettes? There are many questions that must be answered...:}

Just remember that prunes are nothing more than wrinkled dried up plums.

Pee Pee Rune.
Or any other way you want.

Ppruined :E

The villian in the piece is, of course, the rather odd title of the website, which is a bit of a misnomer.

Whilst Ru-mours, Ne-tworked by P-rofessional P-ilots, play a part in postings to the website, I would suggest they are in the minority.

I have no wish to start a rumour but could there, perhaps, be a new title in the offing?

If so, any suggestions?

Spare a thought for the ARmy Rumour SErvice.

Or Pilotess Unification Rumour SErvice aka Purse

Mrs g calls it p-prune.

I call it "I'm just going on pp-r-yune going to bed?"

I never speak of it in public. It's part of my secret other life; one of my darker secrets. But if placed under duress and forced to confess, I would probably use option 2.

After another thread pull this morning I realise it is pronounced - "Nocommentonislamwillbetolerated".

Nothing like a good assumption!

There were 2 threads started on Islam this morning.

BOTH WERE PULLED BY THE THREAD STARTER!

But that doesn't make for nearly such a good conspiracy theory though does it?

well what do you expect
I don't expect anything - I just find it rather sad.
if you pointlessly duplicate a thread from two days ago?
It wasn't duplicated - the two threads have different titles and different subjects
As has already been pointed out
Indeed - twice.

I recall wandering into a pub, in which I was a total stranger, and gazing round in a confused manner. Upon which I was approached by a rather attractive female who asked me 'If I was to say "Prune" to you would it mean anything'.

Well, what happened next Mads? (We live vicariously here, you know)

Just asking, Sjohn, why does one have to pronounce it any way at all? Are you going to have a presentation or something on the topic? :E

Could I lay this topic to rest once and for all..... The founder of this site Danny had a stutter, it's Prune.
