This one isn’t in plaintext this time. I learned from last time that there are issues displaying plaintext on a phone, where there isn’t any guarantee of 80 available columns. I thought that wasn’t a tall order, but it turns out, it is.
Also, I really wanted links.
And I’m sorry I was so late in posting this. I have trouble finishing things…
I was in Finland for two and a half months and hardly ever saw brands other than the dominant ones I mentioned. But I suppose I wasn’t keeping careful track, so my statistics may be subject to confirmation bias. Hey, maybe next time I’m in Finland, I’ll keep a tally.
“Ltd. Lock Ltd.”. Well, I guess that explains the origin.
How do Finns typically pronounce it, though? The “oy” diphthong really rubs my Finnish phonology gland the wrong way. I keep wanting to pronounce it “ablöy”, like “löytää”.
It’s impossible to pronounce like it is written, so people just say “abloi” and even the b may tense up to p since the former isn’t a part of finnish and comes up only in loan words.
