>>9248787
It's QUAD-RAD-DICK, but he keeps saying, KOD-REDIC. It annoys the shit out of me.

>>9248761
If you understand his proposition than why does it matter how it's pronounced?

>>9248802
It just does

>>9248802
Yes because language matters what the fuck?

>professor keeps calling it "math"e"math"ics

>>9248929
Ethiopian teacher? I had one who pronounced Pythagorean as PIE-THUH-GOH-REE-AN

>Professor speaks in a thick Chinese accent and his powerpoints are incoherent nonsense
I've had problems with multiple difficult math classes due to this

Silly Americans and your flaps.

ln (x) = "the in of x"

>>9248967
That's actually correct English pronunciation though (both RP British and US).

>no lectures
>professor turned himself into a pickle.

>>9248802
Agreed.

>instead of pronouncing it "oiler" he says "you-ler"

wtf I HATE when this happens

>>9248802
Because someone might hear an authority figure like him mispronounce something and assume it is the correct pronunciation. Then some other brainlet hears that brainlets version of the word and mispronounces it further. This continues down the chain of brainlets until one of these brainlets meets a proper English speaker and the two cannot understand eachother. If you dont follow the rules of language you may aswell live in a tree and fling your shit at people.

I had a intro to circuits teacher who called resistors in series "in cereal"

>pronounces [math]\phi[/math] as "f-eye" and [math]\varphi[/math] as "f-ee"

No idea why

>Prof is extremely disorganized

>tfw this is now the second time this has happened

>>9248761
Stat professor keeps pronouncing "cumulative" as kuh-mew-la-tiv, rather than kyoom-ye-la-tiv and it drives me crazy. Also had a quiet asian matrices prof who would always pronounce his "V"s as "W"s. Made it kind of difficult to follow his "motipo wectuhs".

I read ahead. Pair-uh-bola

>>9248761
Had a Fluid Mechanics teacher who had some really creative pronounciations of "Poiseuille" (as in the flow). It's a difficult word for swedes of course, but at least stick to one pronounciation.

Same course had a lecturer who stood with book by the board and just wrote down stuff word by word, sometimes just algebra for three boards. When someone pointed this out he got offended and said people could leave if they didn't like his "style of teaching".

I just stopped going to lectures and the course was pretty nice otherwise.

>being a self absorbed faggot who can't try understanding different styles of communication
maybe you're the bigger problem, seeing as you have to take the class :^)

>>9249422
Who is this guy really?

>>9251219
Found the professor? Lazy lecturers are the worst though, make your own damn slides with the stuff you want in them.

>>9248761
Math Professor has spelling errors, when writing real numbers: "reele Zahlen" ... Consistently throughout the semester

>>9249044
>filename

>>9250838
Hahaha that's amazing. I hate it when a professor rushes through everything and speaks as if everything is an afterthought. Then if you ask any questions, he treats you like you should have already learned all this.
I'm here to fucking learn new material, this isn't review for me goddammit.

>>9249044
Congratulations, you can parrot memes

>>9248993

>Professor keeps making basic arithmetic mistakes

>>9248799
Don't you know what a T is ?

>>9250572
That's the British (read, correct) pronunciation.

teacher at my shitty community college went a step beyond nukular.
Nukulus.
New kyu luss.

NUKULUS

>>9251365
Bitch your pronunciation is an artifact of your class system. Historic English was closer to American pronunciation, but your faggoty ancestors imitated your inbred retard royals to suck up and didn't dare correct them when they decided talking like they had a 60 pound weight tied to their nutsack was cool.

>>9249121
N-no.
This can't be happening.

My professor is too young to admit that he can be wrong

>>9248967
How do you propose to say it?

>>9252370

>>9251436
its methyl
its also yog-hurt no yo-gurt
its also HERBS with an H you inbred spastic, its not a silent h
also colour has a u

>>9256383

It's not the French notation though. [a,b] and (a,b) both mean the closed interval in the French notation. )a,b( or ]a,b[ is the open interval.

>>9248761
>Talking to CompSci nomie
>He says 'oil-er'

>>9251444
Pretty sure he means an unstressed /ər/ turns into a syllabic consonant (along with /m/, /n/, and /l/). Just how Americans speak, myself included.

>Professor says "These" instead of "This"
>I live in norway btw
>Half of my professors does that btw

>>9248776
I'd drop the class the first moment I learned my professor was black.
Absolutely no chance I take a class from one

>>9248761

Why do Americans call every member of teaching staff a "professor"? Professor is a very high rank attained only after years on the faculty of a university department.

>literally everyone in your country insists on pronouncing 'idea' as 'I.D.'

The Dutch language was a mistake

Also all Indians say 'I-MAY-GING' instead of 'imaging' and they since understand the difference when you correct them.

>>9256844
why?

>>9251211
His pronunciation is correct, yours is wrong.

>>9256844
>Drop when I learn professor is black
This just proves you are fucking moronic you value physical thinks more then the knowledge of people. I'm not even black but I find people like you disgusting.
I'm not saying he's great desu most professors are.

>>9256383
is there another way to denote intervals ?

>>9248770
My professor, he even admitted it during one lecture

>>9256383
>>9256489

Did you guys ever consider he was joking about the French notation stuff?
