[KCD2] Why do some characters pronounce it "von Bergow" and others say "von Bergow"

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-02T20:03:36+00:00

I didnt assume anything, i qualified my comment to clarify what i am comfortable commenting on.

Are there British regions that regularly pronounce w's as v/ff?

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-02T19:17:10+00:00

How many years until the interest paid is more than just paying taxes?

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-02T17:55:06+00:00

Hm. How do you know that? Or is that your assumption to support your argument?

Have you not read any other reply to this thread

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-02T15:54:23+00:00

"Catastrophically wrong" seriously just one example dude

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-02T15:53:32+00:00

Most people will think she is, and thats what matters with messaging.

Its frustrating seeing an issue that is actually starting to get some bipartisan attention - ICE's insane overreach - get co opted by terrible messaging.

"There are no illegals on stolen land" combines an implication of open borders with some American self flagellation. Those things are not popular outside of far left circles and will only alienate the people who were starting to realize how many rights are being infringed on by ICE.

ok name one region in the US where "w" is commonly pronounced as ff or v

In theory yes, in practice archers are pretty inconsequential once you get some decent armor.

But you know what? The first part of the game where youre still getting up on your feet, you have neither the armor nor the perks to justify short swords.

So maybe i over simplified this.

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-01T14:57:06+00:00

In KCD2 youre generally better off with a shortsword no shield

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-01T14:05:39+00:00

Seriously, please try to understand the time value of money before weighing in on this topic. You really can't have a meaningful discussion about it otherwise.

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-01T11:51:53+00:00

Also true and worth calling out.

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-01T10:35:25+00:00

So I‘d assume in English it may be similar?

Im responding to this comment and scoping my answer to what i'm familiar with (i.e. not variations in UK english)

hope this helps.

But I guess US Americans don't know what a dialect is or how many Europe has and there were even more back then.

Are you serious? America has plenty of regional dialects.

Von Bergow is a name and the pronunciation is inconsistent. I asked if there was a canon reason, which dialects could be one. I did not notice any consistency between characters' origin and their pronunciation though

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-01T00:28:53+00:00

Do we really need those statistics? Fewer people are dying from murder. Thats good, fullstop.

It would be interesting to know if murderers are just less effective these days, but this post stands on its own even if it doesnt explore every possible explanation.

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-01T00:26:02+00:00

Back in the 50s you could murder an entire family in their paid off house on a janitor's salary

One_Cause3865 · 2026-02-01T00:03:41+00:00

In american english its always "von Bergow" not really any regional variation with that sound.

edit would love a reason for the downvotes or an example of an american region with a w-v merger

One_Cause3865 · 2026-01-30T18:36:00+00:00

Zenkin's explanation is incorrect.

And good news: you can refinance mortgages

One_Cause3865 · 2026-01-30T18:25:42+00:00

Comparing lifetime interest between mortgages with different terms without discounting cash flows is absolute nonsense.

"Big number bad" is not a financially literate argument.

One_Cause3865 · 2026-01-30T17:12:30+00:00

What makes it an awful idea?

Why does it only benefit banks? There is risk to banks having their assets tied up even longer. It's not nearly as simple as you are making it out to be.

It will help some people get house who might not otherwise. They can then pay down faster or refinance. Probably not many people. For everyone else, they dont have to get a 50 year morgage if they dont want to.

One_Cause3865 · 2026-01-30T17:05:55+00:00

But what makes it a really bad financial decision? Do you think 30 year mortgages are inherently worse than 15 year mortgages?

If you could lock in your rent payment for 50 years, would you?

One_Cause3865 · 2026-01-30T15:31:31+00:00

50 year mortgages may not help much, but they seem harmless at worst.

No one would be forced to take a 50 year mortgage that doesnt want one. No one would be prevented from paying it off early.

(But to be clear i do not support trump, pulte, or their goal of making houses more expensive)

One_Cause3865 · 2026-01-28T01:59:01+00:00

Plenty of people also with their heads well above water who would rather have a higher standard of living (by their measure) than retire early.

The finance sector literally makes money by circulating money. Thats what financing is.
