How are you supposed to pronounce two consecutive vs?
Like the dev in devastate but with an a
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.

But devastate doesn't have two v's. That's just standard v pronounciation.

Yeah, I used the double vv to make it more clear what sound the "a" made

It's like the a in "dad". "Dav-sto".

Yeah but "Dav-sto" doesn't tell you how to pronounce the "Dav" part. Someone could read "Dav-sto" and still pronounce the "Dav" as "Dave". Maybe.
But yeah hard v. That's what I was trying to express with the "vw".

Also I think you'll find the correct pronunciation of xyzzy is "gzzyeezuzuhyuh".

I think people need to learn how to spell my name before learning how to pronounce it.

I spell it like the word it's based off, though D3f I pronounce "def" as in "definitely".
