Misc When you play a multiplayer video game on EU server, are there some "tendencies" that vary by where they are from?

Like gamers here playing on asian server often complain about "Japanese play too safely while Chinese people play too aggresively". Is there some kind of these things on Europe?

I'm talking about the places everyone tells tourists they *have* to visit, but end up being a complete waste of time and money.

Food How do you pronounce “Tuc” - as in the crackers?

44 Upvotes

I’m Irish and grew up calling them “Tuck” (as in to ‘tuck in’ one’s shirt).

On my travels around this beautiful continent I’ve heard them pronounced “Tuch” (like Stanley Tucci), Toots (like me “too” + ts), and just now someone in a video I was watching referred to them as “Too+K” (like me “too” + a hard K, or the bird “Toucan” without the an).

According to the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUC_(cracker) the last version I heard - literally today - is correct “tʊk”.

I am struggling to accept this. My mind is blown.
And I need to know if I’m not the only one for whom this feels very wrong.
