*falls over laughing*

That really really works if I read it as "O p-n-e", with each letter separate.

Which happens to be how I pronounce it :) Hence the peony in my default (non-winter) support userpic!

Oh! I know I used to know that, and it's how I pronounce it in my mind as well, but for some reason I thought you liked it "ne", silent "p"

I don't think I've ever espoused that pronunciation!

In German, I say "pné", in one syllable, but with an audible "p" at the beginning... and I suppose "pnee" in English in English would work, too, but "nee" sounds odd to me.

("pee enn ee" is the default English pronunciation for me, though. Typically with stress on the third syllable.)

I love the "Jingle Bells"!

It's great, innit?

I wonder how much effort it took to find machines that had the right pitches, and how much it cost to buy them all, and how many tries they needed before the timers went off at just the right time...

Wow. At first I was wondering what on earth the video had to do with anything, but that's quite clever.
