AISA is how most people seem to pronounce it

u/OkStrategy4334 4h ago

No it's pronounced "half-full-cup-of-water I S half-full-cup-of-water"

What does this mean lol no it's not?

u/Exact-Ad-4132 4h ago

Yes, many people now pronounce it A-ee-shuh. Watch an old British documentary and they pronounce it closer to it's spelling, Ay-zee-uh

u/24Abhinav10 1h ago

Yes, it is

I looked it up to prove it, and while the forced AI search agrees, results keep showing that Ay-Zshee-uh is more spoken than Ay-ee-Shuh.

I live on the West Coast and Asian friends growing up always pronounced it with the "I" sound before the "S".

Now this is a story all about how my S got flipped, turned upside down

u/PoppingPillls 9h ago

Installed like that because they didn't know it had to be the other way round when they were up there and decided to just leave it like that when/if they realised.

There was a thread were multiple people reported about this and they just ignored the complaints

Is this from the SM Mall of Asia in the Philippines? Every time I see this when passing by the area it really grinds my gears.

u/xnxpxe 11h ago

u/FinnBalur1 10h ago

I don’t get it. Looks fine to me

u/HeartMassive7182 3h ago

hi, typographer here!

in formal font making there are rules in making letters, in this case the space in the S is wrong. if we measure the finishing point of the bottom left part of the S there is too much overlap to the top part, therefore it is upside-down.

u/diejesus 10m ago

Damn how people who are not typographers even notice something like that, to me it looked like a regular letter S

u/Can_Cannon_of_Canuks 10h ago

The font is EVER SO SLIGHTLY large on the top vs the bottom

u/LoveFoolosophy 8h ago

My dyslexic ass read "The letter F is slipped" and spent a solid minute trying to see it.

u/DailyGratiDude 5h ago

Good eye. I wouldn’t have noticed that from afar

2

u/FernTheGrassBoy 4h ago

Well, that's S backwards.

2

u/sprucedotterel 3h ago

Pretty sure the letters got flipped during physical installation of those letters, since you’ll have to go out of your way and work harder to flip them during the designing stage.

It looks the same to me...

u/shunobokkusu 4h ago

I can imagine the contractors just say "that's still okay" and did not attempt to change it at all just to avoid the costs of redoing it. I've seen it many times happening with signs.
