  • Just watched a video where a mathematician/physicist described a prism as a Tobleronie shape, and then made the mistake of reading the comments on how Toblerone is supposed to be pronounced if your from Italy, Switzerland, or England.


    '"Tobleron" (silent e) is an equally wrong way to pronounce it.'
