@junebug I... the thing is I actually can't tell if this is the "mango-with-an-a" or like OVERLY CORRECTLY saying it.
Both of these are horrible dudes but they're different horrible dudes.
@Draekos @junebug he never corrected others but he always pronounced it that way himself. never made a point of it either
also the dude was like, a couple decades older than me probably, i think a "former student who still lives locally" type, he was probably an anime watcher from vhs times so maybe that's just how it was said when he got into it
