Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice#Security – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource
Lee-bruh is definitely the way to go since it fluidly connects to the first syllable of “office”. If you do “lib-ray” or “lee-bray”, you’re forcing a ton of unnecessary annunciation on yourself.
I don’t even know if I pronounce it right. Is it like libré or is it more like a lobster-tiger hybrid? Or a Lemur-cobra.hybtid?
Also, if they’re watching, the themes still make the UI all funky unless it’s on the default—at least for Calc, anyway.
I’ve always said “lihb ree” office in my head. (lib as in rib)
Libre will really only ever be a French word to me so that’s how I always thought it would be pronounced. With an Americanish R sound.
Leeb-roffice
librɔfəs / librɑfəs for you IPA enjoyers
Ah, not it’s again!
At risk of going of topic, is this a Millennial meme?
Like, I really hope younger folks have seen this.
I say leeb-ruh, like it’s a Spanish loanword.

Agreed, but sounds too much like “Libra Office” ♎️⚖️
bruh
I’ve always pronounced it lib-ray
Think “Zebra” (NA English) but with an ‘L’.
