My thoughts exactly. Whom to believe? Sure, he says it as I imagined it should be said (the o has to be pronounced, and I would expect the ë--or indeed any accented vowel--to be pronounced as well, which to me seems to yield "oy"), but that doesn't mean he's right.

I do not. I have the KFL+ v2, which I like a lot, and the Prime, which I haven't even washed yet. Should I try to get my hands on a v4? If so, why?

I have a stack of KF Lites, the KF3, KF4, KF5, KF mini V3, etc. I've vaped the kayfun Lite V2 for most of the time I've been an ECF member. I've bought and tried most of the must have MTL tanks and still come back. The Doggystyle atty has earned a place in my frequent vapes corner. Ares, Beserker, and Skyline get occasional use.
 
Pull a hot rock outta the fire an spit tobacco juice on it and huff the steam. Now that is old school vaping
'outta the fire', says the cute kiddie...

We had to spit chewed herbs onna stick and wave the stick around when the Goddess of Fast-Lights-From-The-Sky was angry.
Then, either you huffed the steam out of the stick or the rest of the tribe huffed the steam out of your embers.

If we'd got schools... well, they wouldn't have time enough to be considered 'old' [emoji1]

German sounds like coughing up snot in the back of your throat all the time. It's disgusting. I have German relatives and even speak a smidge but I only like Germans who've been inbred so they at least know what a sense of humor is.

Yes, I said it. I have been to Germany several times. I always had to CHIIIIIILLLL I mean it's not what I'd call an uproarious civilization. It's just not. My older brother was crying in a grocery store one time and this old German biddy got right in his face and screamed "Haltz mal!" Or however you spell that (shut up) he spit at her.

My mom had to leave.

Maybe there has been change but one thing is for SURE I need to get my .... to work. Immediately.

I would go with the French guy based on proximity like isn't France closer to Russia or something.

Later,

Anna

OMG inbred germans sense of humor. I blew a snot laughing at that one.

A stick? You were lucky, we only dreamed of having a stick.

Germans have a sense of humour. It's just not the same as others. These things are cultural. Culturally we in the UK can laugh at anothers misfortunes. The classic slipping on a banana skin joke or man walks into a lamp post. Germans didn't really laugh at that.

I lived in Germany for a long time and once saw a woman in high heels get her heel stuck in a crack in the road. She went flying but what really cracked me up was her shoe, still sitting upright all proud like, stuck fast. I nearly pished myself laughing. That shoe just got to me. My work colleagues thought I was a bit sick.

That's a dang good question. They're a German company, and the German alphabet has three vowels with umlauts over them that are all rather difficult for English speakers to pronounce correctly: Ä/ä, Ö/ö, and Ü/ü. German is also very phonetic, i.e. there's very strong correspondence between spelling and pronunciation. Zey haf Rulz, ja?

What throws me completely for a loop here is that there is no provision in the German language for an umlaut over the letter 'e'. So I'm not sure what to make of the ë in SvoëMesto. My brain wants to move the umlaut back to the 'o' and just ignore the 'e'. I think that's because 'oe' is a acceptable substitute for an 'o' with an umlaut if one is using a keyboard that doesn't readily support vowels with umlauts.

I've never forgotten about this video where Flo from SvoëMesto chimes in with the correct pronunciation. Vid starts at the appropriate timestamp...
