@Xibanya "Oiler" is how you pronounce it if you want to be correct but not understood

@phooky @Xibanya I'm curious now: how would you pronounce that name if not oiler? I'm German, so that pronounciation comes natural to me; no idea how I would pronounce it in English to be understood x)

@gRuFtY @Xibanya "you-ler".

(similar to, say, Eucharist pronounced "you-car-ist". unless it's supposed to be "oicarist")
