My Question: How To Pronounce Baoer?

As Americans we mispronounce almost everything, e.g., Notre Dame, the Celtics, Volkwagen, Faber Castell. (Yet to avoid embarrassment we wisely do not even attempt the names of J Herbin inks.) So to answer the original question, we usually pronounce Baoer as 'bore' or as 'bare', either mangled pronounciation will do just fine, thank you.

 

I know of one auction site that lists Faber Vastell as "Fabakasuteru", I imagine it's a fairly universal phenomenon!

Hi Folks.

 

I think I asked the same question several years ago someplace here on FPN. And I came to the conclusion that Baoer rhymes with Power or Flower. The break between the syllables is new to me, though. I guess I will have to incorporate that.
