Weird in the way they pronounce various bit rates, or weird in that they've actually devoted time to thinking about how they pronounce various bit rates?

and then posting it on watmm

lol

A+ thread

I don't really ever talk about bit rates, I talk about how much I can bench and drink and how many women I've slept with, all of which are loads

I can bench about 320, easily drink a 24-pack of Vabst Blue Ribbon (VBR), and have flac'd a lossless torrent of women.

killer bits per second, less ands and forty

You need to get laid.

Inconsistency in the å/og, it's supposed to be all og. I can't believe I bothered typing all of these out. least interesting thread.

**posting in another embarrassing Rhombix thread**

Personally, whenever I read a bitrate, I try to pronounce it in my head, and I thought it was interesting how my pronunciations were inconsistent. You don't seem to think this is worth discussing at all, but I was curious if this was happening to anyone else.

how about the variable bit rates, would be interesting to see how those fit into this scheme you've got

320kbps = noun. 'three-twenty' ... "Yo I got some new three-twenties to drop in my set tonight."

128kbps = adjective. 'one twenty eight' ... "Aw, this is bullshit. This Autechre torrent is all one twenty eight!"

I dunno who deals with <128k mp3s regularly enough to have a system of verbalizing it.

I usually describe them using a collection of squealing noises and hand signals.

Anything under 320 or flac: "Shit"
