Error. Password must contain one capital letter and one special character.

Forrest is a special character, wouldn't you agree?

I am sorry. Your password need to be at least 10 characters long, and include non alphanumeric characters.

Also, these characters may not be used in alphabetical or numerical order and may not be used to form any meaningful word, in any language. Also we advice not to use the letters a and e as well as the number 3. Furthermore please don't use : or ; because they will invalidate the use of password and let anyone though who types it in.

Lastly, you can't use any password that you have already used here or on any other platform and you need to pass out captcha to prove that you are not a robot

My password is the full list of shrimp dishes. Easy to find but if you bother to type it in, you deserve my data

It took me a little time to get this, then it reminded me of something I never really got from the film That Thing You Do.

Does "1" actually sound like "wun" to American ears? As in with a "u" vowel, not an "o" vowel?

I'm English, so "Won" rhymes with "un". "One" rhymes with "on".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, we say it like "wunn" here in America. Both one and won are pronounced the same.

What does it sound like to your ears?

I'm not aware of any English-speaking country where it's pronounced different (maybe certain heavy accents, particularly non-native speakers, pronounce it differently). But it's the same in both British and American English. A soft u sound.

And it's a homonym with won, which is pronounced the same.

Soft o and soft u are not terribly far apart so I guess that's part of it.

And of course like so many English words (since it's a mutt language) it doesn't follow many established rules.

I'm English (northern), and "one" rhymes with "on", not "un".

Honestly, I've never noticed any British accents that pronounce it differently than that, but I guess it's not Impossible.

I watch a LOT of British TV, have for decades, including Parliament.

You're smoking crack.

Look, here's an example - first verse "Earth has one moon"
