Apparently it was also contested in spelling at one point and was sometimes seen spelt as robut. Robut. We coulda been cool.
The English Wiktionary isn't the end-all, but it mentions nothing of the sort. You or who/wherever you heard this from may be confusing the spelling with the pronunciation.
Maybe I'm confusing it with the pronunciation. Robut. We should have never stopped.
While Lemmy can be as pedantic as any other platform, I do appreciate that it's usually at least as respectful as they are.
Like Zoidberg
Is Zoidberg pronouncing Robut/Robet like a Yiddish person or using actual Czech?
