The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The "worce" part is pronounced like "worse", so worse-ter-shy'r.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Major Robert Thornbird: Our cameras saw some sort of weapon.

Jack O'Neill: Oh, well it's hard to say.

Major Robert Thornbird: Some sort of state secret?

Jack O'Neill: No. Just difficult to pronounce.

Wooster-shire

[–] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 10 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Depends on how you pronounce shire. Americans tend to pronounce it like the hobbit place when it's more like "shuh".

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 6 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I'm from New Jersey and I pronounce it Wuh-stah-shur. I think that's reasonably correct?

I hear "Were-Chest-Sure" around here.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 months ago (7 children)

I genuinely don't understand why that's so hard for Americans so say.

My buddy has been watching too many redneck cooking videos and calls it "warsh-yer-sister" sauce.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

I just saw a sign this morning that said "Irish Wristwatch - now you know you can't pronounce it". The sign was right.

[–] codapine@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's pronounced "Worcestershire".

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Well the guy that invented it says it's "Worcestershire" so....

Does webtoon pay comic artists now? Or is that watermark there for no reason

There's little visible name of the comic near it.

There's a British surname, Featherstonhaugh. Many of the people with it pronounce it "Fanshaw."
