Here's a really stupid question, but I have to know...
how do you pronounce PPRuNe?
Is it "pee-proon"
Or just "proon"
or something else?
Maybe somebody can enlighten me :)
Thanx

I usually read without moving my lips, so I've never really thought about it.

How about "Pee Pee Roon Eee"

It's 'Pee Proon' or if you are asking someone if they are a PPRuNer then it's just 'Prooner'.
Definitely not Pee Pee Rune.

Simple Chaps,
It's pronounced " PRYUNE " but SPELT Prune.
Anyone remember the safety mags in the crew room?

If it is Pee Proon, why are we not Pee Prooners?

I believe that the safety mag was called Air Clues. It contained a series of cartoons about an accident prone pilot called Pilot Officer Prune. I thought that his name was pronounced Proon, but am prepared to be corrected.

CP ... thanx. I didn't automatically make the leap of logic to the contraction "Prooner/s".

From what I recall from the May Ash Bash...
Peter in his Piper picked up a pax load of Pickled Pruners;
A pax load of Pickled Pruners Peter in his Piper picked up.
If Peter in his Piper picked up a pax load of Pickled Pruners,
Where's the pax load of Pickled Pruners Peter in his Piper picked up?
