There was an old man from Peru
Whose limericks never got past line two

140 characters screws up the flow of a limerick.

I really wanted to say "pi because it goes on forever"

As opposed to numerical Greek? Also you guys pronounce μ as 'mew'?? Wtf?
nap0501
Dumb English pronunciation.

There once was a girl named Camille who had a twat of stainless steel. A power drill might give her a thrill, or an xtra rough emory wheel

A tutor who tooted the flute, tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
DefinitelyNotTheRealBatman
Said the two to the tutor “Is it harder to toot, or to tutor two tooters to toot?”

It bothers me unreasonably how English has somehow butchered the pronunciation of Greek letters to extents I can't even explain.

THANK YOU!!! I always go off when I hear it in person. My friends know not to touch the topic or else I rant about it for too long.

There once was a man from kent. Had a dick so long it bent. To stay out of trouble he screwed with it double so instead of coming he went.

These always feel weird because in modern Greek we actually say "mee".
DaisyfromDownunder
It was a Greek letter - not a French letter.

There was a man from Ealing. Devoid of all feeling. When he read on the door, don't shit on the floor, he jumped up and shat on the ceiling.

There once was a young nasty hellion, whose actions were truly Orwellian. He spent all his time, on the meanest of crimes..
Fhant
Such as writing Limericks without a proper rhyming structure.
Eridianne
Guh, that's like holding in a sneeze
nap0501
Okay cute, but when you say the letter in Greek, it's actually Mi not miu. Dumb English pronunciation.
billstranger
That's true. Also "Germany" in German is pronounced "Doi-chland." But since this is an english meme, it does make perfect sense.
billstranger
And "Spain" in Spanish starts with an "E." Almost as if languages.
Geracht
Alright, take my upvote, I laughed.

PianoMan2112
OnoMichiosCharmingHassakuFace
It's pronounced "mee", not "mew"
rodman194612
More like mü
DaveSamsonite
It was a consonant. The vowel sound was simply ascribes, as I recall. So just “Meuh.”
MyrandaSuccubus
I'm more impressed at teaching the previous 11 letters to a cat than the mispronounced 12th.

sameconvos
I think that in this case "depends" means...
nap0501
Depends on what language you're speaking it in. In English, yes. In Greek, no. It's Mi
Pensionar
Depends on what language you are reading the letter.
Castironpeppers

Gonna go out on a limb and say "Greek."
JimmyWalkerTexasRanger
DamnItTrudyWhatAboutThePineapple
Weirdly enough, in Greek it's pronounced "me", like how you would read the word me
ThePunnyGuy
Come back from the limb, you're making me nervous. You got the answer right.
LicensedAdHominem
It always disturbs me when Americans read Greek like it's been transliterated and in English. Like mew.
shankelstoff
They have diphthongs and they speak the language of the Gods. Therefore everything must be pronounced with diphthongs.
