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 millAnybody 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.
PHP: fffffffp
Pehp.

I thought HTML was hate em all.
JSON is pronounced Jason
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
JSON Statham
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.
But only if you do it like Heavy Rain.
It isn’t Jason, it’s Jayson. But yeah, basically indistinguishable.
And the only sane choice, as opposed to Sequel.
It’s not sequel. It’s squirrel.
Skill. Then you can reply to any database problems your coworkers bring up with “sounds like a skill issue to me”.
Confusing because there is a DB client called SQuirreL.

Oh my genitals / giantess! 😳
May genitals have mercy on us…
That must be the part where the giantess comes in? 😜
Still wrong. Squeal.

We pronounce it ancient.
sometimes its fun to stress wrong letters, like throwing out “ess-Kwall” or “seh-Kwall”
I had a coworker pronounce URL as Earl.
Want some URL Grey tea?
The original product was called SEQUEL. Structured English QUEry Language. They got sued over the name by a company named Sequel, so changed it to SQL but kept calling it sequel, as do we all.
So say we all
enjinx
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
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
How do you pronounce PDF file?
E-p-s-t-e-i-n?

“The most uneditable proprietary shit in the world that’s somehow nonproprietary and ultra popular but really has no right to be any of these”
Aka one of the biggest paradoxes of modern computing.
Similarly, Nazi programmers say “ZIP FILE!!!”
Denise - it’s French
I like to pronounce them like squeal and dunes.
It’s the DENNIS system.
If the nameserver says no, then the answer obviously, is no.
But they won’t say no. Because of the resolution.
Oh, don’t be DeNSe, it’s pronounced SQueaL 🐷
Bro I heard someone pronounce it squeal before 🫠
That’s adorable!
Less so when you consider my rotten syntax

And if they wanted Qt pronounced any way beside “cutie,” they shouldn’t have spelled it “cutie.”
I started learning some qt and python and apparently it’s pronounced cute.
Nah.
Fwiw I still say cutie everytime
Wait , hold up. Has it been “Cutie Bittorrent” this whole time??
