PHỞ: Automated workflow for front-end

I realized I was old when I tried to clean my screen, then realized "PHO" had accented characters ... I complain about the uppercase-only EBCDIC main-frame output at work, but I'm still not used to seeing non-ASCII characters on the web.

My elderly status was confirmed when the Getting Started guide included:

Same here. Then again, the majority of projects by English-speaking developers tend to have ASCII names, even those for whom English is not their first language.

wanna be the asshole nerd that ruins every conversation?

constantly remind people that it's pronounced "fuh", like the German "fa" as in "fahren".

met a lady like that last year, has been stuck in mind since then. grrrr.

Pronouncing it correctly makes restaurant names like "Pho King" even funner. :P
