I like the software, so I’ll overlook it’s shady deeds.
It’s in their FAQ 🙂
Oh wow, they have an audio sample and everything! Looks like it’s kind of “for jeo” (pronounced like “Mateo”)
Aka, pretend it’s Spanish, since it’s a word from pretend Spanish (specifically Esperanto, not Portuguese)
J has an H sound in Spanish, not a Y sound.
Wasn’t Esperanto made by a Polish dude?
No idea. Also, my comment is mostly a joke
I feel like if you need an audio sample to get people to pronounce your name correctly, you should just name it something else…
I enjoy how there’s the correct answer, and then there’s the other answers in this thread. 🙃
Thanks for this. I should have known it’d be somewhere like that.
Never knew about Esperanto, but that was fun to learn about.
It can still be pretty Euro-centric but it’s awesome to be able to communicate with people from any number of countries at the same time.

Forge Joe is how I pronounce it.

I’ll do you one better; why is forgejo?
Nice keyboard
Thanks. It’s the only swipe enabled keyboard I’ve found for my degoogled phone. They have their own F-Droid repo as well
I keep reading it as “four-gee-joe”, but I’m pretty sure that is not the right pronounciation.
As a speaker of Esperanto, I believe they used the Esperanto for the noun “forge” which is spelled ‘forĝejo’ with a facy-pants g-circumflex.
In Esperanto, the G with a hat is pronounced like the soft G in forge. The J is pronounced like the letter Y, like in the English word fjord.
So, I don’t know if the makers of the tool intended the Esperanto pronunciation to be used. But if it is, the pronunciation would be like forge-AY-o.
Its named after the Esperanto word on purpose and uses that pronunciation, it’s right at the top of the readme.
4JO
Just like hotkinkyjo
Damn, didn’t know he was all kinky like that
For-jay-ho
For-gay-ho (Spanish)
