      I’m not a native speaker of Horseish either but I know they don’t say “rrribbit”.

        I know a lot of words that are not said in Chinese, however I can’t spell a single word correctly that is.

          So what you’re saying is that it is the spelling of “noot noot” that’s the issue. I get ya.

            I was being facetious, however how one would spell something in what isn’t their language can be difficult. Look at /r/boneappletea for examples.

            Once you showed me a better way of describing the sound it makes instant sense. Even though by thinking about it I can almost hear the sound, it’s rather hard finding the correct way to describe it in English (which isn’t my native language)

              Interesting. English isn’t my native language either, but I do speak and write at a native level due to a few factors, so that might be the difference.

                That way you are familiar with the spelling of fantasy animal noises?
