From 4f34eafbd2da7e878cbabdbb8d583c20f5889448 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Gaultney Date: Tue, 27 May 2025 12:11:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] add pronunciation to README (#5336) ## Summary Adds an IPA pronunciation to the very top of the README, for the sake of clarity. This is a minor thing, but it's nice to know that there's a 'standard' pronunciation for uv. I have no idea whether this will seem like a "reasonable" place to put this; I looked over the README and didn't see any obviously more appropriate places to put it. Maybe this is unobtrusive enough that it's fine where it is; maybe there should be a new section added somewhere; maybe somebody who has a better feel for the project goals will have a clever suggestion.
