Somewhere I heard that it should be pronounced as “Engine X”
On their own homepage? still won’t stop me tho
Jurassic Park (InGen) ruined any possibility of me ever pronouncing this the way they want it to be. It’ll always be In-Gen-Icks out of my lips, like it’s a pharmaceutical company.
In Gen X we trust
that’s how i pronounce it from the very first time i saw it
That’s better than me, I was saying en-ginks
Actually I also pronounce it as en-ginks. The parent comment was not obvious to me
I like to pronounce them like squeal and dunes.
I have always called SQL, S Q L.
denise
That’s bad logic, obviously if SQL is “sequel” then DNS is “denues.”
You know maybe some acronyms just sound good pronounced as words and some just don’t, ever think of that?
Now I’m never going to read DNS the same way again 😭
Lol 😄
And remember, it’s spelled Netscape, but it’s pronounced Mozilla.
Yehzz
We used to pronounce UPDTE as “upditty” (this is a JCL reference. Be happy if you don’t get it)

HTML: hatemail
HTTP: hat-top
MSDN: Mastodon
SSH: shhhhh
HTML = hit mill
It’s like a machine (mill) that gets you hits (web traffic)HTTP = hitch tip
It’s the tip of the hitch that you attach to the hit millPHP: fffffffp
Pehp.
I thought HTML was hate em all.
Anybody else ever use HoTMetaL to make a website?
Not HoTMaiL?
Or HoTMaLe?
HoTtaMaLe
Don’t forget to remove the husk
I always thought it was Hotmail, probably because my first email address was using Hotmail and that was sort of my first introduction to computing.
Add enough JavaScript frameworks and I’m sure the metal gets very hot indeed.
Good thing it’s not running on bare metal, amirite
I had HotMetal Pro. I got it on a cd in a library book sale.
hitttup, wuh wuh wuh
JSON is pronounced Jason
JSON Statham
It isn’t Jason, it’s Jayson. But yeah, basically indistinguishable.
And the only sane choice, as opposed to Sequel.
I say Jay-sahn.
Lots of people do, and it makes no sense.
How do you pronounce “J”?
How do you pronounce “son”?
Now put them together.
Oh I get it!
How do you pronounce “e”?
How do you pronounce “yes”?
Now put them together for “eyes”!
Sure, that explains why people pronounce it that way now. What I’m wondering is why people started pronouncing it that way in the first place. When I see the letters JSON, my brain parses it as J-SON. It’s even a common first name ffs.
I couldn’t say. There is an older guy in my group who calls it “Jason”. Also we have 2 guys on my team named Jason and the back end jason now goes by J-Sahn. I have always read it j sahn and I have no idea why.
So, how do you say “J” then?
“ᒋ”?
LOL! I wouldn’t pronounce “J son” like Jason, either!
“Son” is pronounced “sun”. Jason is pronounced Jay-sin.
Also, I’ve had coworkers named Jason, and I want to be able to say “Use JSON” without it sounding like I’m saying “Use Jason”.
You sound like a fun person to work with.
SCSI was always skuzzy.
Ah, I see, you’re a person of culture and distinguished taste.
I feel like this one is relatively uncontroversial
URL pronounced as “earl” however? I’ll spend all of my remaining energy in life ensuring the person saying it is stapled to the bottom of the Mariana trench with rebar
But only if you do it like Heavy Rain.
