Re: 2015/04/27 - Paint The Town
I pronounce it "Spoh", and I think Spo does too:
I also pronounce Spp "Spəp".
(and also established that he's small for a mouse, right there in his introduction)

I don't even think I would be able to pronounce Spp.

I tend to pronounce it Spowe.
There's an area in Cardiff the estate agents pronounce Splowe. It's spelled Splott.

I always get confused when both of them are in the same comic, but oh well. This is great to see, I want more.
THERE IS NO PROOF THAT I STILL SHIP A LOT!
I pronounce the name as SP-OH, as in SPOKE, without the KE.

Re: 2015/04/27 - Paint The Town
That is how I pronounce it also!
Re: 2015/04/27 - Paint The Town
I actually did calculate how many of them there'd be. With each of their names being three letters long, and with the oldest named Aaa and the youngest named Zzz, there'd be 17,576 siblings altogether. That's one big family.
This account is a copy of that of my Cross Time Cafe account, which I use to discuss Freefall on its forum.
Re: 2015/04/27 - Paint The Town
It's possible the oldest was named "A", and we don't know how many there were after "Spp".

in that case, ignoring any hypothetical ones after spp and assuming that all of spo's sibling went from A to Aa to Aaa to SppArgent wrote:It's possible the oldest was named "A", and we don't know how many there were after "Spp".
that's 26 + (26*26) to get from A to Zz, so that's 702
then we have from Aaa to Rzz, which is 18*(26*26)=12168
then from Saa to Soz is 15*26=390
then finally Spa to Spp is 16
702+12168+390+16=13276
so Spo would have 13275 siblings at least.

then we have from Aaa to Tzz, which is 20*(26*26)=13520
then from Saa to Soz is 15*26=390
then finally Spa to Spp is 16
702+13520+390+16=14628
so Spo would have 14627 siblings at least.

Re: 2015/04/27 - Paint The Town
yes, my brain was in math mode and I alphabeted wrong.
I edited my post with the right letters and numbers.
