Frequently Asked Questions

"Gersande" as a name is hard to pronounce. Can I use a nickname for you instead?

You can learn how to use my name! :D I have translated my name into the international phonetic alphabet just for you: ʒɛʁsãdə. En français, ça se prononce comme ça se voit. If the phonetic alphabet is not super helpful, my name breaks down more or less like this in North American english:

ger is pronounced like the beginning of jerry
san is pronounced like the word saw + an almost silent n sound
de is pronounced like a super short and understated duh

I want you to build me a website for free.

No. Just no.

Will Gersande run on my operating system?

Gersande will run all over it.
