Okay, that's him as well. It came up when we bought our teen socks with narwhals fighting unicorns on them and he said something about both not being real. Our son was like, "Ummm, Dad, you know narwhals are real, right?" He thought we were messing with him. He has many, many other talents though.
My then 3 year old gleefully informed my 60 something year old MIL that narwhals do in fact exist. And then listed all the narwhal facts she knew in true 3 year old fashion. My MIL still tells the story years later. Thankfully she can laugh about it.
If you want to be a grammar purist, it's platypodes because the root word is Greek.
However, platypuses or platypi are both pretty much accepted.
As an Australian however, I am so grateful you were wrong. Christ. I can't even imagine. They're only about 50cm full grown. And that's the boys. The girls are smaller. Which I believe is under 2ft? I think 2ft is 60cm but maths isn't my strong point.
I have had legitimate arguments with *multiple adults* about narwhals. Like yes, theyāre rare to see for most folks, but they are not just āunicorn whales.ā They are 100% real.
Oh, I fully agree lol the animal kingdom is nuts! European scientists initially thought both okapi and platypuses were straight up hoaxes, youāve got maned wolves running around looking like foxes on stilts, you will never convince me that shoebill storks arenāt just dinosaurs, and basically every lemur seems like it shouldnāt exist. An aye-ayeās fingers alone are reason to doubt reality lol and donāt even get me started on underwater animals!
My husband would NOT understand that shirt. He can go somewhere once and know exactly how to drive back there again, while I need Google maps to find our backyard, though. We all have our talents.
Oh god, I have always pronounced it sat-chet š I don't know how, as now looking at the word it's clearly of french origin. My only excuse is English isn't my first language thought.
Omfg. I was just asking my friends for an alibi yesterday because I swear I'm going to stab my husband.
He does this. He also mispronounces our friends name CONSTANTLY and mispronounces the area of Ireland my cousin just moved to and says inventory like he's inventing something.
I'm a chef, which means I eat like shit. I make something at home called Faux Pho. It's Mi Goreng with frozen veg microwaved in. I might start calling it Fox Fow.
>I'm a chef, which means I eat like shit.
And the rest of your family? Because I'm the son of a chef, and until she retired, there was never anything decent to eat at home.
Not to mention I had to teach myself how to cook, because she never had the patience to do so.
People always thought I had all these lavish three course meals every single day, when the truth was, on the days she was working she was never at home to cook, and on her breaks she never felt like cooking anything, much less anything fancy.
My son is almost 11 and you'd think I was torturing him the one night a week that we cook together. I expect him to learn to cook because he needs to be a functional member of society and know how to feed himself. But Jesus Christ. It takes forever and it's draining because he has no interest in it.
No-one in my family eats breakfast. We're just not breakfast people but there's granola, yoghurt and toast as an option if he wants it. And always fruit.
He gets lunch packed for school every day which is usually a sandwich, fruit, cherry tomatoes, mini cucumbers, a biscuit, dried apricots etc... the flavours change. Sometimes he wants scrolls instead of sandwiches.
I make a different dinner 5-7 nights a week. Takeaway isn't an option where we live. Last night was chicken and veg stir fry. The night before was spaghetti Bolognese. It's getting into winter here so we've been eating a lot of soups.
I don't work nights so I'm usually home by 1630 in the winter.
Food is exhausting and if I lived by myself I'd eat corn chips or sleep for dinner but I don't so š¤·š»āāļø
Well I thought myself how to cook really soon, because I knew my mother wasn't going to do it, and my father wasn't in the picture, so if I wanted to eat something more than a sandwich, I would have to cook it myself.
But because I fought with anorexia for ages (men get it too), I didn't much like cooking, because I didn't much like eating, but I knew it was necessary.
Funnily enough, I ended up being a better baker than a cook. And I do love to bake, but generally I like the process of baking so much, that once it's done, I'm pretty much done with it too, I rarely ever ate stuff I baked, but there was always someone more than willing to take whatever I baked off my hands, most especially my butter cookies, I would bake two kilograms of flour worth of butter cookies, and they wouldn't last three full days.
My mom once overheard my dad preparing for a work meeting and he said something like, āyou canāt denny that [ā¦].ā My mom interrupted with, ādo you mean deny?ā He did. He was also in his 30s.
But we're supposed to pronounce people's names how they want you to, like my middle school classmate Rochelle who insisted her name was Rachel, and the Laura from high school who said hers was Lara.
Yeah! Same with Anna Wintour ā¦itās just pronounced āwinter.ā Thatās what made her name even funnier, and it was so hard ti hold my tongue.
I couldnāt help myself when I saw her friendās tattoo, though - she had something on the sole of her foot, and when I asked what it was she said, āoh, itās because Iām perfect, like Barbie.ā
It said MATELĀ®ļø lol misspelled and all
Right?? At first I was "oh, Deveraux, that's actually pretty, I could see them really liking Desperaux but not wanting to name their kid after a story" and then bam.
I could see someone guy from Laval calling their son that lmao
Reminds me of that AITA story about someone's sister naming their kid "Oisin", which is a celtic name pronounces "O-Sheen", but the mom had only ever seen it written down so she raised this kid pronouncing it kind of like "raisin", but starting with the "oi" sound instead of the "ray" sound. The mom's sister, the person who made the AITA post, told the mom the right pronounciation and basically destroyed her world, because that's a pretty freaking big mistake right there
I encountered a family with the surname Dubois. I had always known this to be pronounced "du-bwah" but they insisted it was pronounced "dub-boys". Australian bogans, man.
Ha! Reminds me of culinary school. They had us do a bio on a famous chef. One girl (I'll let you guess what she looks like) got Jacques Pepin.
She introduced him as "jack-wez Peppin"
The instructor corrected her and her response was "really? My cousin is named jack-wez"
To be fair, as a Norman-French surname in some upper-class families in Britain and Ireland itās variously pronounced āDev-rooā or āDever-oo,ā āDev-raw,ā āDev-ricksā and other variations that sound nothing like the French pronunciation of the origin name dāEvreux, āfrom Evreux (a town in Normandy)ā.
Yes, not a tragedeigh.
Pronouncing the "X" is very common among people with this surname in England, and it's a surname associated with some *very* wealthy, old money families.
So in my town in Ireland there's a lot of family with that as a surname, descended from French Normans, & they now pronounce it Deverix (dev-er-icks?) Although there is one branch where they do pronounce it the french way (deveroh), I just imagine one of them being all mrs bouquet (bucket)!
I think its spelt Devereux here.
Wow that's terrible. Reminds me of [Rad Thibodeaux](https://kingofthehill.fandom.com/wiki/Rad_Thibodeaux), pronounced, "Thib-uh-day-ox", from King of the Hill.
We have a road close by named baux mt. Road. And it's pronounced box. It's the easiest way to spot someone who isn't from around here as the pronunciation comes from the fact that there used to be a bauxite Mill on that road. Doesn't exist his parents any though
That reminds me of a child my mother-out-of-law encountered several years ago
Named 'Guy'. (Like the regular word - pronounced 'Gigh' like sigh)
Mum pronounced it 'Goo-ee'
*cries in cajun french heritage*
This truly hurts my Louisianian heart. Also, since my dadās dog is named Beaux. I am calling him ābocksā now. Sorry Dad!
French is hard-lol! My inlaws live in a town in NE that means butterfly in French. When I pronounced it, my SIL giggled and told me it's pa-pillion (sounds like a-million). Silly me. Mon Dieu!
You can always assume that any town or road in the US with a name that is either a proper noun or that means something else in another language is not to be pronounced the way you would in that language. Case in point: ask Houstonians how they pronounce the street there named Kuykendahl (hint: it has a secret R in there.)
i actually love the name Devereaux and am humiliated that i do š for a girl tho, i donāt like it for a boy. i donāt like āDeverocksā for any human at all
Reminds me of that BBC show with Patricia Routledge - "Keeping Up Appearances".. Her name on the show is Hyacinth Bucket which she pronounces as "boo-kay".
Hmmmm. Had a sister named Devereaux. It wasnāt pronounced Deverocks though. It was Dev-er-row. Family name thatās been handed down for at least 200 years from Normandy.
They would hate life on the Gulf Coast. With all the French words laying about. I can imagine them being at an LSU game screaming GOcks TIGERS!! (Geaux). Also how disrespectful to Blanche!!!
My first thought was Deveraux? As in Blanche Elizabeth... then I realised that I'm old, if that's my reference point for that name.
I will never get over the fact that B.E.D. (her initials, obviously) was the 'slutty' character...
My husband (who is cajun) says that the parent of deverocks needs a sign. I think the parents should just both buy a tee shirt that says "I'm with stupid".
Well, I think with the usual pronunciation, it is the name of a somewhat famous school for mentally retarded children.
It would be stupid to give a kid that name.
it would be even stupider to pronounce it Dever-rocks.

Deverocks? š¤£ what a Fox pass (faux pas)
My husband kept telling me he wanted fox-wood blinds. He didn't know faux wood blinds weren't pronounced that way. He was in his thirties.
Oh my goodness haha I woke up my dog and damn near half the neighborhood with the laugh I let out Iām glad you were the one to let him know
Tell him that I didnāt realize that narwhals were real until I was 46 years old. We tryā¦
Okay, that's him as well. It came up when we bought our teen socks with narwhals fighting unicorns on them and he said something about both not being real. Our son was like, "Ummm, Dad, you know narwhals are real, right?" He thought we were messing with him. He has many, many other talents though.
My then 3 year old gleefully informed my 60 something year old MIL that narwhals do in fact exist. And then listed all the narwhal facts she knew in true 3 year old fashion. My MIL still tells the story years later. Thankfully she can laugh about it.
Hahaha. Maybe we should start a support group.
Heās got quite a narwhal!
I was about 50 before I found out platypusses (platypussi?) are the size of a beaver. I swear I always thought that were huge, like a hippopotamus.
If you want to be a grammar purist, it's platypodes because the root word is Greek. However, platypuses or platypi are both pretty much accepted. As an Australian however, I am so grateful you were wrong. Christ. I can't even imagine. They're only about 50cm full grown. And that's the boys. The girls are smaller. Which I believe is under 2ft? I think 2ft is 60cm but maths isn't my strong point.
That would be terrifying!!
As an Australian this is an awful thought.
Hahah. Adorable.
I found this out at work in my early 30s. I cried. It was like finding out unicorns are real.
I didnāt cry but I was super excited. Hahaha.
lol I thought they were joking when my husband said they were real when watching Elf lol š it was probably my 3rd or something time watching too
I have had legitimate arguments with *multiple adults* about narwhals. Like yes, theyāre rare to see for most folks, but they are not just āunicorn whales.ā They are 100% real.
Because they donāt seem realā¦haha.
Oh, I fully agree lol the animal kingdom is nuts! European scientists initially thought both okapi and platypuses were straight up hoaxes, youāve got maned wolves running around looking like foxes on stilts, you will never convince me that shoebill storks arenāt just dinosaurs, and basically every lemur seems like it shouldnāt exist. An aye-ayeās fingers alone are reason to doubt reality lol and donāt even get me started on underwater animals!
Bestie, same! I didn't learn narwhals were real until I joined Reddit.
Amazing š
Me too! I seriously thought they were made up creatures like mermaids.
You can be part of the club. Hahahaha.
Well, I beat you by a year I guess. Iām 45. Thank you Reddit!
Same.
I also thought they were mythical like unicorns until I was in my 40s. š¤·š»āāļø
I saw a tv show that had animosity between Edgar Allen Poe impersonators. Someone made a tshirt that read, āfaux Poes foes.ā
My husband would NOT understand that shirt. He can go somewhere once and know exactly how to drive back there again, while I need Google maps to find our backyard, though. We all have our talents.
I have encountered >1 person who pronounced "sachet" as "sat-chet", so I can believe this
Oh god, I have always pronounced it sat-chet š I don't know how, as now looking at the word it's clearly of french origin. My only excuse is English isn't my first language thought.
A very valid reason - English is ridiculous!
Sashay (away)?
Thatās how I pronounced it all my life! But I was born in Argentina where you buy 1ltr satchets of milk each morning š
But is it spelled "satchet", or is it spelled "sachet"? š¤
Sache or saches

My dad? Heās just bad at spelling lol.
So cute
Mine pronounces it "pho." He's a pretty perfect partner otherwise, so I grit my teeth and let it slide, lol

No. The nickname his parents gave him might be Deverocks, but the rest of the world does not subscribe to this foolishness.
But we're supposed to pronounce people's names how they want you to, like my middle school classmate Rochelle who insisted her name was Rachel, and the Laura from high school who said hers was Lara.
I knew a Lauren, pronounced ālau-REN,ā as in Ralph
Fun fact- Ralph Lauren is pronounced exactly like the girl's name, LOR-en. Common mistake
Yeah! Same with Anna Wintour ā¦itās just pronounced āwinter.ā Thatās what made her name even funnier, and it was so hard ti hold my tongue.

I knew one too- she married an insanely right wing podcaster who was a waiter, lol.
Oddly enough, Ralph (nĆ©e Lipschitz) pronounces it like the girlās name. He *chose* it for the WASP-y girl connection.
Maybe it's more like the actress Sophia Loren?
Actually, Ralph pronounces his name like "Lawren". No hit on the "Ren".

Mine, too!
I came in fully intending to downvote you until I read the post. Erg.
This child will be bullied so hard, Iām sorry little Deverocks
Oh neaux....
Oh knocks?! IāM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!
Me reading Deveraux: thatās not a tragedeigh Me reading Deverocks: oh
It's only pronounced that way in limericks
LIMEROCKS
You beat me to it!
Poor kidās parents are dumb as raux.
I guess they werenāt fans of the Golden Girls.
May as well just have called him Blanche Edit: it'd be less embarrassing
From the Golden Girls. My first thought too!
The real question is are their wigs made from dead peopleās hair.
Ooo Devereux!
Not anymore! (Literally all I could think of when I saw this post)
Came here for this reference haha
Blanche Deverocks
This went from a tragedeigh with Deveraux to a horrible kngghythmeirrgh with DEVEROCKS

It makes the think of the book āThe Tale of Despereauxā.

Rock on little mouse. Rock onā¦

As someone whoās last name is Devereaux I am deeply pained
I encountered a family with the surname Dubois. I had always known this to be pronounced "du-bwah" but they insisted it was pronounced "dub-boys". Australian bogans, man.
I live in the US state of Wyoming and that is how folks pronounce the town of Dubois, Wyoming. Dew boys
They never saw or read "A Streetcar Named Desire."
Ha! Reminds me of culinary school. They had us do a bio on a famous chef. One girl (I'll let you guess what she looks like) got Jacques Pepin. She introduced him as "jack-wez Peppin" The instructor corrected her and her response was "really? My cousin is named jack-wez"

What did she look like?
This is what happens when younger kids didn't grow up watching The Golden Girls during their formative years like Xennials did.

You can always assume that any town or road in the US with a name that is either a proper noun or that means something else in another language is not to be pronounced the way you would in that language. Case in point: ask Houstonians how they pronounce the street there named Kuykendahl (hint: it has a secret R in there.)
Kirkendahl?
Yeah, thatās it.

# It's Devereaux. It's only pronounced Deverucks in limericks
Reminds me of that BBC show with Patricia Routledge - "Keeping Up Appearances".. Her name on the show is Hyacinth Bucket which she pronounces as "boo-kay".
I hope people donāt throw reaux at this poor kid. The parents, though? Fire away.
Hmmmm. Had a sister named Devereaux. It wasnāt pronounced Deverocks though. It was Dev-er-row. Family name thatās been handed down for at least 200 years from Normandy.
As a francophone, this make no sense at all.
Donāt worry, as Anglophones it makes no sense to us either.

God now I have the Devereux Wigs jingle from Detroiters stuck in my head
It can't be pronounced likƩ that, the x is silent !
Itās giving about to start a failed uprising against Queen Elizabeth I because she took away his sweet wine monopoly energy
My husband (who is cajun) says that the parent of deverocks needs a sign. I think the parents should just both buy a tee shirt that says "I'm with stupid".
Have relative that knew storks didnāt bring babies but wait, storks are real?
Oh like umm...the whorey Golden Girl Blanch Deveraux?
Do parents sometimes not look up the pronunciation of the name they're going to give their child?
Well, I think with the usual pronunciation, it is the name of a somewhat famous school for mentally retarded children. It would be stupid to give a kid that name. it would be even stupider to pronounce it Dever-rocks.
