how do you pronounce your url
I tend to say it as RAV (with a short a, as in cat) - ner (as in nerve) - vuhn (schwa between the v and n as opposed to a defined vowel). The ner+vuhn flow together, like a weird verb. We're nerv'n.
Technically, I'm actually saying my own URL "wrong", because it's actually ravne + rvn, both of which I also use as handles as well. Despite both being derived from "raven", I pronounce those constituent parts as "RAV (as before) - nuh (schwa)" and, uh, exactly what it sounds like trying to pronounce the consonants "rvn" as a word (stress on the R, unvoiced vowels). Saying it as RAV-nuh-RR(uh)-v(uh)n has a fun flow, I just don't default to it.
TL:DR "RAV - ner - vuhn" or "RAV - nuh - RR - vn" are both accurate!
