This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Whenever I see this meme, think about Nihilists discussing Nietzsche.

Edit: Also, I'm one of them. I think I read about him for a few years before I said his name out loud in front of someone.

I'd pronounce his name like the Russian word for "no."

Close, but the second syllable is different. You're correct that its not a silent vowel, it's pronounced exactly like the short version of the article "a", or the first letter of the word "announcement".

If only there existed a phonetic alphabet that would make such discussions unambiguous smh
