I'm not sure what that refers to, and I'm not getting it from the replies.

I am 20. I hate algospeak so bad. But "ahh" kinda stuck in my tongue

"ahh" feels like the sound you'd make when you try to say "ass" quickly

I feel like "ass" and "ahh" conveys different feelings so I use them interchangably. But I still cringe a bit because "ahh" originated from algospeak

In speaking I don't mind it tbh, I just hate how it's spelled, as I can't help but read it as the noise you make with your mouth open at the doctor, which sounds all kinds of wrong.

More like algospeak, there's a lot of adequate but quiet gen-z'ers, believe me they despise it as much as everyone else.

Oh, thank you. Is it pronounced like 'A'?

[–] Joelk111@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Pronounced like ass, but without the s sound, instead just extending the a sound.

Oh, duh, that makes sense
