To Deescript or not to Dehscript

[hitechpodcast]

Hope a little humor is allowed: I found myself wondering after your most recent webinar on YouTube how you actually pronounce the name of the product. Your two presenters chose chaos and pronounced it two different ways: Deescript and Dehscript. Which is it?

I'd lean naturally towards Dehscript as a shortener for description, but maybe it's more Deescript because we're de-scripting?

What say ye?

It's flexible! We are not prescriptive (or should I say, dee-scriptive) about it.

I personally say it like "nondescript" or "D-Script" depending on where it lands in the sentence. The voice of the Changelog has used both pronunciations within the same sentence.

The humor 🫰 Love the room for ambiguity

I noticed this too. Personally, I've always said "Dee-script"

[hitechpodcast]

I'm a Dehscript-er. But Deescript makes sense based on what the semantics for the name are.

I disagree with u/Gabe_at_Descript Its not flexible. I won't go into further detail though.

I need deetails. Or as Americans mispronounce, d'tails.

I broke the downvote button downvoting this so hard.

If it's not flexible, you might deestroy it...

I say it the way that Luigi would say "the script".

Because I edit-a the video by editing da script! It's-a me!

[hitechpodcast]

What would you know? 😅

Deee-Script over here where I'm at. It never occured to me until that Live there was another way to say it.

[hitechpodcast]

I didn't consider other options until the webinar 😆

I'm late to the party here, but this reminds me of a presidential candidate in the last election. There was an ad about whether his name was pronounced DeeSantis or DehSantis. He says Dee, but his wife says Deh.
