1 year agoIf you’re referring to the city in English you would say “bo-LO-nya” to approximate the original. I’ve heard it on the radio/podcasts before. It’s not very commonly referenced so trying to get closer to the original is probably right. Unlike Paris, where you are seen as pretentious if you pronounce it the French way.
Not sure about the other but PoppinKREAM became known on Reddit during the Mueller probe for very long, very well researched and cited comments mostly related to politics. Their citation style in particular meant their comments got tons of Reddit awards and were highly visible.
