Good question. I guess the best way is to find an Austrian or German person to pronounce it for you, then try to follow that.

I have heard the following from various English speakers:

Ass Burgers
Ass Purgers
Asper Jerz
Asper Gurz
Az Pear Gurs

But as a non-Austrian/non-German, I am not sure which is actually correct?


I kinda speak German :P It's pronounced kinda like Asper Gerz (e as in Elevator) and AS isn't pronounced like ass (with ae), but more like saying aaa the dentist tells you to say aaaa :p
So aaa (but short)spergErs (not z)


A young lady in my last autistic support group meeting pronounced it "Oss-bergers" or "awws-bergers"( like you're saying - like "say awww"- with the 'burger" of "hamburger" at the end). Probably right.

Based on something I saw on "America's Funniest Home Videos" the other day...

You might be an Aspie if you'd been planning on going home to play Disney Universe, and become upset at your parent's sudden idea to visit Disney World instead because that wasn't in the plan...

...Your idea of "playing" with the other kids in the neighborhood consisted of forcing them to act out the plots of your favorite operas. Oh! :idea: No wonder I didn't have any friends....

If you can actually be bothered to work out 4096 to the power of 4.


If while calculating that, you need to use the lines to keep your numbers lined up right (I'm terrible with that...)

If when you got in trouble as a kid, your parents took away all of your video game controllers, so you just turned the games on and watched all of the intro videos over and over.

If every time you hear a plane or a helicopter, you have to stop what you are doing and look for the source, then watch it until it goes out of sight.

If you keep a chart on your whiteboard containing how much money you owe people and how much they owe you.

... Your friend threatens to remove you from a Facebook group, which is called the croc appreciation society. You say how tempting it is to post pictures of crocodiles. You also argue that he stated "everything" and no croc in particular.

A friend did reply and say I do have a point.

Not me. I barely even know what that means, although I do vaguely remember learning it in school in maths lessons. It's escaped from my head now. Meh. :)

you're supposed to go the OTHER way with 4096. Seek its roots- not its powers.

I just calculated in my head that is two raised to the twelfth.
I knew that that number looked familiar.

Its also 64 squared, if I am not mistaken.

Its a rather nifty number actually.

4096^4 can't be 64^2 - I think you went the wrong way somewhere

4096^4 = (4096^2)^2
= 16777216^2
= 281474976710656

(I cheated and used a calculator for the last line..)

....if this is familiar to you:-

NT 1: Did you hear [name of celebrity] has done [insert event here]?
NT 2: Yeah I heard about that, he/she's doing it to [insert some intention here], isn't he/she?
Me (to self): Heh heh, ''[name of celebrity being discussed]'', funny name....

What I basically mean is when NTs are sharing gossip about a celebrity I have barely heard of, I'm just sitting there thinking ''oh, funny name'' or ''I like that name'' or just focusing on some other detail about the name.
