TIL I've pronounced quark wrong my whole life (rhyming with park).

Though I've heard it done that way elsewhere - perhaps it is also considered acceptable at this point.

You need it to make the quantum duck joke. Quark quark.

Gell-Mann said it sounds like "quart", Joyce rhymed it with Park, it is a silly word and the pronunciation is as fluid as you desire.
