How do you personally pronounce 'Asperger'?

SORRY! I just had to do this.

Sience we're on the subject of how to pronounce the word. Here is a "British" video of them getting it wrong then. BTW: it's at the last few second of the video.

Oh my gosh... xD
If I could poo out burgers like that I would be rich but a lot of people would have E. coli.

This is something I'm genuinely curious about as I hear some people pronounce it (most often as an insult) as if the 'p' is a 'b' so it sounds like Ass-Burger, while in other places you're supposed to pronounce the word with a 'hard G'.

For me, I pronounce it as "A-Spur-Jer". What about you guys?

I also prefer to pronounce it As-Pur-Jer
Sometimes Asperger's with a hard P

Hard "G." Asperg is a town in Germany.

Actually it's from Johann (Hans) Asperger - Hans Asperger - Wikipedia

The German pronunciation is definitely a hard 'G'
"Ass Pair Ger" is probably about as close as you can get.

as-per-gers with a hard G since it's a german name. Basically like ass-burgers but with a p

Close, but in German the per is pronounced more like 'pair'. I speak a little deutsch oder - ich spreche ein bischen deutsch

wait, were we supposed to be saying how we pronounce it or how it's supposed to be pronounced?

Asp-urgers like I would say a$$burgers

A$$ Burgers! Gah! I hate that feckin' word! It was used on me by clueless Americans on wrestling forums when I was first diagnosed.

Anglicizing foreign words and names usually amounts to butchery IMO, no matter what side of the pond- or the world one is on.

Could be worse. Note how a bored bureaucrat changes Vito Andolini's name.

 

[tachyon]

wait, were we supposed to be saying how we pronounce it or how it's supposed to be pronounced?

Mea culpa!
I just like things to be exact - a little aspie me I suppose.

I honestly don't think ignorance has geographical boundaries,it could quite possibly be that it exists in the arena you have entered in to do battle

How you prefer to pronounce it.

 

[Spencer Carr]

I have always said ass-burgers and thusly nicknamed moments of aspergers "being Burgersy"

 

[Anonymous]

Aus- per-gers
With the front pronounced like autism because my first diagnosis was just autism

 

[Suzanne]

I say it with the hard G and the reason why, is because it is a sirname of a German man and thus, it is respectful to that language.

 

[WildCat]

The way it's supposed to be pronounced: as-pur-gurs or as-pur-jurs.

While we're on the subject, I'll take my assburgers well cooked with a few slices of bacon and American cheddar.

When I first mentioned my suspicion to a fellow gaming friend who might also be on the spectrum, I got a similar response to above...

Asperger with a hard G because Germanic is just how I roll. Plus it’s the correct pronunciation, and correctness is what I’m all about
