Pakshivilim versus (F)akshivilim

B"H

Somone who obvioulsy knows better Yiddish than I do told me that the correct Yiddish version for the haredi news posters is

PAKSHIVILIM and NOT (F)akshivilim !

I corrected the mistake at most places and look forward to improve my Yiddish. :-)

    "PAKSHIVILIM and NOT (F)akshivilim !"

    just one more correction... it should be 'Pashkevelin' (switch the 'k' consonant with the 'sh')

    I find this particular Yiddishe Wort very confusing and I am sure that many people mix up the pronounciation.:-))))
