I had a really funny conversation with a multilingual friend about the sats vs. bits debate.

In French, the word β€œbite” is pronounced like β€œbit” in English, and means dick.

And just speaking for myself, I don’t want to go around pricing everything in dicks.

Hmm. Though this does seem to work for the phrase "bag of dicks".

And yet for a time, a large part of this country did price things in β€œdix”s (pronounced in English as dicks) as one of several privately issued currencies in common usage and from when we get the Southern region of Dixie. Although ironically given your conversation with a French speaker, these notes were issued by a bank in New Orleans, where they spoke French. β€œdix” being French for 10 (although pronounced dis).

I needed to know this, obviously!

Dix in french is pronounced like diss in English. What time period was dix pronounced as dicks?

In English the x at the end of a word is almost always a /ks/ pronunciation. The rare exception is a silent x. The anglophone reading dix written on a French issued monetary note is likely to pronounce it with a hard x, as in fix or exam.

My favorite word in French is orgueilleux.

It’s pronounced β€œooh goo you.”

That’s just trolling.

I don’t see how the English prononciation of a French word matters though πŸ˜‚

I am French and ok with bits symbol easy to findπŸ†
