[this one drives me crazy because I can never remember when it's shú and when it's shóu]

Guardian:
那也就是说准备的越充分，对于他们越有利, that means the more thoroughly we prepare, the more of an advantage they have
现在在我面前没有熟人，只有仇人和挡我路的人, right now I see no acquaintances, only enemies and people in my way

Me:
谁要记仇啊，我们是兄弟。
我有跟他见过面，但是我们俩不算熟人。

Is it not interchangeable???? Though I think I hear "shou" more often, including in the Guardian theme song where they say shouxi for 熟悉 (familiar).

[trobadora]

That was my understanding too - that it's just a variant pronunciation, maybe regional or something.

(When I first noticed that it was sometimes shuxi and sometimes shouxi, shortly after getting into learning Chinese, I counted instances in songs I knew. Which were not many at the time, but shou was definitely in the lead. *g*)

Lol yeah same! Nothing like self-doubt to make you pay extra attention to how it's pronounced 😂

[nnozomi]

oh, nice catch! I should try doing that...

You may well be right, although I never thought of that before!
I recall that in one of my farming show episodes they're all promoting a drink of some kind--I don't remember the exact brand name but it seems likely to have been 果子熟了? and they all say "shule" except for one who says "shoule" every single time...
