Stupid Question

[MikeyT]

How is Busse pronounced?

I know, I know.....but I've only ever seen the name in print.

Is it pronounced like 'Bus', or 'B-use' ?

 

[Lil' Foo]

Bus... as in school bus, with a pronounced E that the end...

Bus-see

.

 

[MikeyT]

Ah - thanks!

Here's a visual for remembering the "bus" part.

Add an "EEE" (rhymes with "bee"), and you've got it licked.

Some debated pronunciations, I've found...

Rapala

crappie

Makarov

envelope

What words do you argue over?

I actually drove a short bus during my last year of college as a part-time job.
They said they thought I could relate, and interact well, with the students.
For years I thought they were complimenting me.......

 

[Guyon]

They were, I'm sure. It takes patience, intelligence, and a good heart to deal successfully with special-needs students.

Oh, and you have to know how to properly use a clutch and avoid rolls when climbing steep grades.

Only 17? You just gave up linking them didn't you Drew?

Maybe we should have a "How to Pronounce Busse" sticky.

Third post down I think. It used to be a sticky on it's own, but the stickies got to be out of hand.

I used to get really aggravated with folks not using the search function to answer this question, but you know I got to thinking. Not everyone is super internet savy or spends a lot of time on forums. They may not know how a search function works. Heck we all know if you put Busse in the search engine you get nothing. It occurs too many times and overloads the thing. I would rather someone new to Busse just ask and get his answer in a cordial manner rather than lose my cool and make him feel unwelcome. The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked.

Welcoem MikeyT, Lil' Foo tells it true. BUS E

Oh, I missed MikeyT's post count. Welcome to BF, MikeyT.

Yeah, the Search function can take a little practice, and it does crap out when there are too many hits on a word.

So MikeyT, what Busse can't you live without? If you haven't decided on one, don't worry, you figure it out.

Thanks for the patient answers guys!
