cute, pic. but with all due respect, that's just not how basic rules of english pronunciation work
it's a short o
rost + er = roster (not rō - ster)
fost + er = foster (not fō - ster)
nost + er = nostr (not nō - ster)
tostr ≠ toaster
rostr ≠ roaster
costr ≠ coaster
nostr ≠ noaster
etc.
You make a good point. But many users aren't native English speakers, and in pretty much every other language, an 'o' is really pronounced ō. So a non-native speaker coming across the term will sound it out as no-stir or no-struh; or even no-stah in Japanese.
It may end up being nawster in America and no-stir everywhere else.
There's also a third path: nuh-ster — because the 'o' in "other" is pronounced 'uh' 😈
People make that argument in favor of a hard 'g' in "gif" even though a 'gi' is always pronounced as a 'j'.
fair. though. it's usually the americans and canadians that i hear butcher the pronunciation of #nostr. also, noooo it's not jif, jiff is a peanut butter. it's pronounced gif as in gift 😂 pv 🤙🏻🫂💜
Can't you people just hop on some phonetic language?? In our lands nostr is nostr for anybody, very short and with beautiful hard stR in the end👀
