Tiny grammar correction #450

Closed AndreaTerenz closed 2 years ago

AndreaTerenz commented 2 years ago

The italian word referenced at line 22 is "aghI", which is the plural for "ago" (needle)

Indeed, the plural of ago seems to be aghi and Google Ngram confirms it. However, it's unclear to me where the word “aghe” was ever meant to be anything else than a pronounciation example. 🤔

0x2b3bfa0 commented 2 years ago

The suggested change would cause people to mispronounce the name as /aɡi/ instead of the intended /aɡe̞/

Yep, as explained in that link, the point is approximating the pronunciation, and "aghi" is pronounced differently.
