[15:30:16] <guillom>	 Looks like it worked :)
[15:30:42] <pintoch>	 woaah, nice !
[15:31:21] <pintoch>	 we need to launch the OAbot by the way
[15:32:53] <pintoch>	 we'll have a call about that tomorrow and then I hope to find the time to do the submission to BAG
[16:11:23] <Nemo_bis>	 Is the #paywall hashtag really so popular?
[17:18:26] <neilpquinn>	 halfak: I'm sure I've heard you say ORES many times but I never even considered pronouncing it as something other than "oh-res" until someone told me a couple of weeks ago that you were battling that pronunciation.
[17:19:51] <neilpquinn>	 halfak: and to be honest, I'm still saying "oh-res" because the alternative is just so *weird* to me :)
[17:22:57] <neilpquinn>	 you may have to pry my pronunciation from my cold dead uvula...
[17:23:53] <apergos>	 same!
[17:25:26] <neilpquinn>	 I think halfak is running up against some kind of deeply-ingrained linguistic pattern here...any linguists around with guesses about what it is? ;)
[17:47:51] <apergos>	 it must have something to do with our processing of acronyms
[17:48:25] <apergos>	 if it had been written Ores all this time, I bet I would have done something else with it
[18:08:45] <guillom>	 neilpquinn: We just need to pronounce it the pirate way: orrrrrrres!
[18:10:16] <neilpquinn>	 guillom: and yet, when I read your comment in my head, I pronounced it "oh-rrrrrrrrres"...I think I'm incorrigible :)
[18:10:34] <apergos>	 same!
[18:10:48] <apergos>	 because
[18:10:51] <apergos>	 or  
[18:10:52] <apergos>	 ors
[18:11:01] <apergos>	 amirite? 
[18:18:55] <guillom>	 shhhh, here he comes :p
[18:19:57] <apergos>	 hee hee
[18:24:24] <halfak>	 o/
[18:25:45] <halfak>	 neilpquinn, I just read the backlog to see that you think "oh-res" is more comfortable than (iron) "ores"
[18:26:01] <halfak>	 Why is it that natural English speakers dislike this word so much?
[18:27:07] <halfak>	 It's intended to be a fun play on a data mining metaphor
[18:27:41] <apergos>	 see the backread
[18:27:57] <apergos>	 I think if it had been written Ores all this time you would have gotten a different response
[18:28:05] <apergos>	 acronym processing may be different
[18:28:15] <apergos>	 this is just a guess, unverified by actual research
[18:28:48] <halfak>	 I think it's Yuvipanda who socialized the "Oh-res" pronunciation.  
[18:28:56] <neilpquinn>	 halfak: no, I don't *think* it's more comfortable...it *is* more comfortable (for me) :)
[18:29:25] <neilpquinn>	 granted that could be path dependence, but no question it is more comfortable right now :)
[18:29:38] <halfak>	 neilpquinn, well.  This is all nice and fun.  Just so long as you all know you are wrong. :P 
[18:29:59] <apergos>	 well the great thing about pronunciation
[18:30:09] <apergos>	 is it's basically decided by the native speakers
[18:30:19] <apergos>	 :-P
[18:30:37] <halfak>	 apergos, weren't we just talking about names getting butchered yesterday?
[18:30:42] <apergos>	 yep
[18:30:43] <neilpquinn>	 Power to the people! The data proletariat will never accept your bourgeois pronunciation!
[18:31:07] <halfak>	 neilpquinn, it's offensive that you refuse to call my offspring by their given name. 
[18:31:11] <neilpquinn>	 although it does make a bit more sense now that you've explained that it's a play on words.
[18:31:32] <neilpquinn>	 that never occurred to me.
[18:31:34] <apergos>	 be glad we don't pronounce it zero-rez 
[20:28:05] <halfak>	 J-Mo, here's a slightly cleaned up version of that notebook: http://paws-public.wmflabs.org/paws-public/User:EpochFail/projects/python-mwreverts/ipython/basic_usage.ipynb
[20:28:59] <J-Mo>	 sweeeet. thanks halfak!
[20:32:23] <halfak>	 And it's now committed to the repo too :) https://github.com/mediawiki-utilities/python-mwreverts/blob/master/ipython/basic_usage.ipynb
