I want to see the new film 'Adam' but how can I take it seriously when they keep saying 'ass burgers' wtf?! lol. Very silly swear-word, sounds like big piles.

My first time seeing the word, my instinct was to pronounce the g like a j. I wonder how Asperger himself pronounces his name then as I would imagine that would be how you pronounce it.

do Americans pronounce p like an english b a lot? I never noticed it before..
I'm honestly not trolling here.

no, we don't, but it seems like having the emphasis on the first syllable masks the p sound and make it sound more like a b.

Hmm.. I don't really know, 'course I haven't payed that much attention, although here in the southern US states our pronunciation is more "relaxed".

Well, it's difficult to distinguish a "p" and a "b" after an "s".

Hans Aperger was Austrian, so the pronunciation would include a hard g.
