Can you please add Celtic into route? Can you make it like how windows one core and other synthesizers said it it's strange that eloquence says it differently but most synthesizers says it the proper way. thanks.

@GeorgeWu3 It might sound odd, but the way Eloquence pronounces "Celtic" and "Celt" is correct and listed in all US English dictionaries. Granted, it might not be the primary pronunciation, but it's correct nonetheless.

GeorgeWu3 commented 2 months ago

Like I said, I’m more prefer how most synthesizer says Celtic properly, now I understand is entirely up to you if you want to do the change or not.

amirsol81 commented 2 months ago

I get your point, but correcting these words when the actual pronunciation is correct but less popular might irritate many users. And it's not just my decision. If more people make such suggestions, we'll definitely correct them.

GeorgeWu3 commented 2 months ago

How to change the pronunciations of a certain word to make eloquence to say it whatever way you want? Like Celtic for example.

Please add the following words to Maine. cnib Cnib imo Imo Api cibc Cibc motd Motd Io thanks

@GeorgeWu3 Thanks for the Main-related suggestions. But most of these haven't been added to Main because ENUMain usually accepts words in all caps, I mean words and abbreviations which are naturally written uppercase. Of course, there are exceptions to this.

GeorgeWu3 commented 1 month ago

Is it okay to add imo and Imo in to main? thanks.

amirsol81 commented 1 month ago

@GeorgeWu3 Both were just added to Main.
