...But still, the Rosalina pics I have, while few, are incredibly hot. Repost this in /r/ and provide a link to the new thread here and I will post what I have, if you desire.

I know this.
Still not someone I want to see porn of.
And this is an /r/, besides.

"/r/" is short for "request", and since we say the word out loud when reading "/r/" (as in, we don't say the letter "r" when reading it), it would thus be written "a /r/", not "an /r/".

I read it as "r", how about you try speaking for yourself and not the whole board.

...Well you're retarded. When talking about this board you can call it whatever the hell you want, but abbreviating something, like "request" when saying "this /r/ in /e/ is gay", it you say out the word so that we know you're talking about a request, not the board. Just because something is shortened doesn't mean you should say it as it's written.

...Please tell me you don't pronounce "b&" as "B-ampersand".

That analogy is retarded. Do you pronounce DNA as deoxyribonucleic acid or as DNA?

Oh, I actually meant to go further into this. It depends. Unique abbreviations are usually at the discretion of the creators or the common users, such as how everyone says "A-O-L" but people vary in whether they say "aim" or "A-I-M". /r/ used in this context has 3 flaws in this design, however. First is that this is not a traditional abbreviation used to shorten a long, multi-word phrase, it is an internet abbreviation used when one is too lazy to spell out a word, such as "ur" or "nvr" (in which you would say it like the word you're lazily avoiding spelling out, even though not all of them would be pronounced as such as is). Second is that "r" on its own is already multiple words when pronounced out loud, both the letter itself and the word "are", so saying "r" when saying "/r/" is horribly confusing. The final flaw is that, as previously mentioned, traditional abbreviations use multiple letters to shorten something longer. No traditional abbreviation is a single letter long for the second reason, thus showing that this is not intended to be treated as a traditional abbreviation.

When I talk about /r9k/ I call it ar-nine-kay not robot 9000. When I talk about /e/ or /s/ I call them ee or ess not ecchi or sexy beautiful women.

Well yes, you're talking about the BOARDS. The guy in>>590683is using /r/ as the noun request, not talking about the board /r/.

I suppose many different pronounciations is hardly surprising when dealing with a text-only medium. For the record, most people I know seem to read /r/ as "slash ar" or /e/ as "slash ee"... it makes it easier when talking, I guess, as there's really only one thing you could be referring to.
