Preface: im an angloid myself who is still learning Chinese [although my instructor said I have good tones, so I’m gonna ride that compliment for a while] so I’m not expecting fluent proficiency.

But I was Watching someone and they fucking pronounced 秦始皇/Qin Shi Huang as “Kwin” Shi Huang…What?! Fucking Quinn? Other people will do it and pronounce Qing and “Kwing.”

There’s no U! It doesn’t follow English pronunciation! You’re forcing a round peg into a square hole you numbskulls!

And this goes for any language. If you need to know how to pronounce a name, just look it up or don’t even say it. Don’t just flounder your pronounciation by not even trying.

Ugh, sorry, I don’t know why I get so worked up over this.
