Help[Opinions] Re: Erasmus
in reply to a message by Sephie
Do you say e-RAZ-mus or e-RAS-mus?
Where I live, it's used as a given name by Afrikaans speakers, though not much nowadays. Then it's more like eh-RUS-mus, and it shortens comfortably to Ras, pronounced Rus.
I rather like it, but I'm not at all familiar with Elmo and I really don't find it attractive at all.

I say e-RAZ-mus, though the two aren't much different in my accent.
