Ubuntu. Because I didn't have to grow up with a language that has no concept of a phonetic writing system.

How do you pronounce Ubuntu?

Ubuntu, an African word from Zulu and Xhosa, is pronounced "oo-BOON-too".

In shitty languages.
My native language is shitty too, it just can be read only in one way (except few exceptions - 3 or 4).
English is shitty, because it's not obvious how do you read words. Some other languages don't have this problem. And no, they do not use any less sounds - just more (like, 5) letters.

The word originates from an old joke popular in Victorian England.  ``A Gentoo, a Hindu, and an Ubanto walk into a bar..." and well, you know the rest.

Spanish/latin people would pronounce 'ooh-boon-too' or 'ooboontoo', because that's the pronunciation of "Ubuntu" in that language.

It's like 'ooh-rooh-goo-i' for the word "U-ru-gu-ay" (Uruguay, the country next to Brazil and Argentina, in America).

English language lacks phonetic, i believe.
We all know it's simplistic.
