Comment on How did we get "bike" from "bicycle"?
xylol@leminal.space 6 days agoDo people say bicycle like bi cycle or bi sickle
Also do they say it the same with motor cycle or motor sickle

I hope I’m not missing a joke, but if you’re curious in my accent (Ontario, Canada) it would basically always be “bi-sickle” and “moter-saikle”
Thank God I never got around to learning the International Phonetic Alphabet, or that might have been too easy and more useful!

I always did bi sickle and motor cycle then I thought about motorsickle and realized it sounded strange
