:As someone else mentioned, it sounds like the pun only works if you pronounce Tudor incorrectly, which could repeat a trend of Americans assuming they are right without regard to other cultures, and demonstrating that they haven't valued putting any effort in to learn this.

::I could be wrong, but it sounds decisively like you think you're right without regard for our culture! You're also lumping all Americans into a single group in your comment, which is at least inappropriate, if not worse. Ultimately, we can say it however we want to say it, and you can do the same!

::My penny wasn't dropping, and neither was my yod, so I added some explanation about that to the main text. --[[User:IByte|IByte]] ([[User talk:IByte|talk]]) 13:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC) | ::My penny wasn't dropping, and neither was my yod, so I added some explanation about that to the main text. --[[User:IByte|IByte]] ([[User talk:IByte|talk]]) 13:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC) | ||

Given that the Tudors descend from the ''Welsh'' "Sir Tudur" (his sons being "ap Tudur", 'ap' in P-Celtic being equivalent to 'Mac'/'Mc' in Q-Celtic, and from thence trailled the dynasty that eventually became Henry (VII) Tudor and the rest of them), the South-Walian accent renders both vowels as /i/ (or maybe /i:/ for the first), or in North Wales /y/ (like the Germanic ü?), not likw the Welsh 'w' ("bws" is the public transport vehicle). The Tudurs of Penmynydd are Northern (Anglesean) but with Ceredigion lands too (mid-Southern, and nobody can really agree whether Aberystwyth is North or South, equally difficult to get to from everywhere else!) so you can take your choice on that one!

Is it just me or is the explanation missing the point that the "Reaction Maps" are the same level of pun as the original play on "Tudor" and "two door", i.e. having different words that are pronounced similarily?

:I do not get that one (likely due to my bad accent, and limited vocabulary) - what is reaction maps supposed to sound like? --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 06:58, 30 January 2020 (UTC) | :I do not get that one (likely due to my bad accent, and limited vocabulary) - what is reaction maps supposed to sound like? --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 06:58, 30 January 2020 (UTC) | ||
