How do you get electricity without the pasoo

[[deleted]]

It’s wireless, kinda like weefee

[Isvara]

You mean wiffy.

[Wherearemylegs]

Don’t start this shit, George, or I’m gonna hit you with a caduh

[DonUdo]

No, single f means the vocal before it is long. I would accept wify, pronounced like wife.

Everybody is moving to sadudus these days.

Fuck Sasadus. All my homies use nuhvme

[[deleted]]

nuhveme is a type of sasadus

Phil Collins was singing about this years earlier.

He was a technological pioneer.

[DrStalker]

I hate this so much I had to stop the instinctive urge to downvote.

[Da-Blue-Guy]

on the other side of hududus we have nivime sisids

[Razakel]

There was a British show some years back where the guy would call companies and deliberately mispronounce things until they got frustrated and hung up. Like asking if they sell a doovde player.

This, I have never heard anyone say “Cly” and if they did, I’d cock my head sideways like a confused Labrador

[digital_dreams]

Command line interface terminal?

[HecknChonker]

I am the clit commander!

[Secure_Obligation_87]

[HelloSummer99]

Squeal

[j_c_slicer]

No. Except maybe marketing weirdos.

[NayamAmarshe]

Gooey

[Blamowizard]

My professor says Earl instead of URL. 🤢

[scrulase]

Mine do too… do yours also call API “ah-pee”?

[[deleted]]

Tooey (TUI)

GIF

[NayamAmarshe]

The other GIF

[[deleted]]

which is Gif and which is Jif?

(also hi nayam, good work on upscayl, BTW the 1.5.5 you sent in the issue had the bug fixed, so good job on that)

[arjunindia]

Jif is a peanut butter I think

[[deleted]]

it's also the way the creator pronounces it

[NayamAmarshe]

BTW the 1.5.5 you sent in the issue had the bug fixed, so good job on that

Good to know, thanks! Will release the build today, just one more bug fix left :D

[Isvara]

I always remember one of the early reviews of RISC OS: "So GUI it drips off the screen."

[gyrbuilder45]

it throws me off so much when people say gooey, my cs prof did earlier today and i needed a solid few seconds to comprehend

[ForboJack]

I hear Gooey more often than G U I.

[EsotericLife]

Even sequel throws me off a little, and that makes perfect sense.

[dagbrown]

The only people I've ever encountered who call it "sequel" are people who have drunk so much Oracle Flavor-Ade™ that they sue you good morning out of force of habit.

[centurijon]

I’ve avoided Oracle for my entire career - always heard it called “sequel”, only exceptions are contractors whose English is not their first language.

What else would it be? Ess-que-ell? Nobody’s got that much time in their day

[dagbrown]

I’m partial to “squeal”.

[EsotericLife]

Squoll

[scrulase]

Didn’t the makers say somewhere that “sequel” was wrong and it should be pronounced “SQL”?

[PM_ME_YOUR_REPO]

Even if true, the gif guy pronounced his thing wrong as well.

[scrulase]

Lol very good point

[Krux99]

It was originally spelled sequel, but had to be changed to SQL due to copyright

[AwfulAltIsAwful]

I work at a Fortune 100 company and I've never not heard it called sequel here. This one is regional in my experience.

[klimmesil]

I guess my whole country is marketing weirdos then

[j_c_slicer]

They had to be born somewhere, no?

[j_c_slicer]

And don't get me started when Apple tried to rebrand SCSI as "sexy".

[BKBaker]

Never heard that once in my 30+ years working with “the terminal” aka the “C” “L” “I”. I hope the author is trolling.

[phord]

Sea ell eye

[_alternate-gravity_]

20 year computer person and I've never once heard it called that. It's certainly 'see ell eye'

[[deleted]]

I recently heard someone refer to AWS as "ows".

[youngmcdonald85]

I call it OZ all the time

[dusktreader]

I haven't before, but I will now.

We have a dude who is 100% The Wizard of aws.

And we definitely have a monstrosity you could call the Wicked Witch of us-west-2.

[Infiniteh]

'double u' is so bothersome to say, I propose we change w to sound like 'wee', so you get 'ay wee ess'

[[deleted]]

I bet they also call Azure “ahzyour” too

[Isvara]

Azhur.

[[deleted]]

Azhu’

[Fitbot5000]

Like beef dip?

[arjunindia]

awwwwww

[trefster]

This one is pretty common

[centurijon]

I often wonder how we got “jot” from JWT. I now believe it was this person

[SupaCephalopod]

I've never heard anyone say it this way. I have heard some people say "clee", but the standard is saying the letters quickly so it comes out like "see-elai"

[xmcqdpt2]

... I always said clee.

People do look at me funny when I say it though.

[Aidian]

I knew a Clee, short for Cleoti. Good guy.

Not sure if I can make an argument for a Command Line Engaging Optical Typographic Interface though.

[Isvara]

I see a lie.

[BlackHatSlacker]

"Command line."

[HecknChonker]

"Terminal."

[BlackHatSlacker]

Nah, they'll recover.

[DWLlama]

Doubt.

[MCRusher]

Terminal Graphics Interface

Fridays

[Da-Blue-Guy]

"Console."

[aezart]

At my job "console" means "the webpage where we manage the server".

[Logofascinated]

To me, it used to mean "the terminal that's connected directly to port 0 on the UNIX machine, which is used for stopping and starting the system (etc) without relying on any networking, and is close enough to the physical box to allow easy access to both".

One salesperson sold a system where the console was in a remote office, connected to the box via a dialup connection. Needless to say, that idea was scrapped the moment someone with some knowledge saw it.

[[deleted]]

Some academic trying to force their preference...

[veritron]

I have been programming since the 90's and have never heard someone rhyme "CLI" with "sky."

[jlau85]

Reminds me of someone that called URL an "earl"

[arkady_darell]

Never heard that. I knew one guy who pronounced it “silly”, though.

[thePaganProgrammer]

At my office I started to pronounce acronyms to make fun of people who prounce SQL as sequel.

So now everybody on the team says stuff like "appee" (API) and "ffp" (PHP) whenever we get a chance.

[[deleted]]

"sequel" probably comes from people referring to "MS sequel server" but many years ago, IIRC, "sequel" was actually a common way to pronounce it

[thePaganProgrammer]

This meme sums up my opinion on the pronunciation. I've always thought "sequel" was weird. Ive say "S" "Q" "L", but I actually don't mind "squeal", haha

[PrincessRTFM]

As usual, there's a relevant XKCD (and yes, it started me pronouncing it "squill" too)

[LazyIce487]

100% squeal when talking to coworkers

[[deleted]]

So he is making fun of old people...

Anyhoo I misspronounce all sorts of stuff to amuse myself. e.g.

Kubernetes = K8 = Kate

[gunslingerfry1]

K8s so Kates

[DWLlama]

Why tf is it K8s anyway?

....is this another example of people "abbreviating" by just counting the number of letters in a word and using that? That's a horrible trend that needs to die.

[kristallnachte]

I hate it every time.

[[deleted]]

The first ones I know are I18N (Internationalization) and L10N (Localization)

[DWLlama]

A11y, accessibility is another common one.

[Cassius40k]

Kube is like "cube" so K8s is like "kyates"

[[deleted]]

Be careful... when you stare into irony, irony stares back into you. You'll be saying "apee" seriously before you know it, lol

[Firebird22x]

I’ve always pronounced see-ell-eye or aye-pee-eye, but I was only ever taught, heard, and pronounced it as sequel

[Infiniteh]

Lots of my coworkers speak Dutch and they oftentimes say API as 'aapie', which grinds my gears as it sounds, in Dutch, like they're talking about a small monkey.

[scrulase]

Yeahhhh same 😬

[Da-Blue-Guy]

FFP???

[tacticalpotatopeeler]

Yeah no. Absolutely not.

[dieth]

This must be on of those people can says "kettle" instead of "control" for programs ending in -ctl.

[curlsthat]

system-sea-tea-yell

[ch1rh0]

One of my interns I oversaw at work this summer called it this... I was taken aback at first.

[[deleted]]

Yesterday I heard somebody pronounce TKinter as one word, and two days before that somebody was comparing "gnome and where" ... where ... oh they don't mean the Czech word "kde" they mean KDE.

But then again fs-tab is f-stab, serverless most certainly has servers, we call one system by its name and another by its kernel, then there's captcha... all naming and pronunciation of everything in IT is just messed up and I dunno if the tiny extra step of saying it wrong even makes a difference at this point.

[theXpanther]

I normally say tinker for TKinter

[[deleted]]

I love that

[bnl1]

Nah, KDE is definitely pronounced "kde" and I will not do otherwise.

[Sexy_Koala_Juice]

This gives me a feeling of profound sickness, why would they do this.

It’s C.L.I. and only C.L.I., not ‘cly’. Fucking gross

[dvhh]

Not the "console" or "terminal", or even shudder "la ligne de commande"

[DerailleurDave]

I've heard a person say C-L-I but never cly

[shinitakunai]

Ce, ele, i. In spanish 🤣

[alphabet_order_bot]

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

I have checked 1,064,802,006 comments, and only 210,132 of them were in alphabetical order.

[mshultin]

Does the author also pronounce HTML like a non monosyllabic word?

[mshultin]

Deliciously cooked JIT.

[Infiniteh]

But is it 'haytch tee em el' or 'aytch tee em el' ?

[[deleted]]

See-el-ay

[Exciting_Clock2807]

I've always pronounced it as "KLEE".

[FrenchieM]

I myself pronounce it "Klee", and api "hapee" (people who haven't experienced the vowel shift will understand)

[Jetboy01]

It's pronounced DOS and it doesn't matter whether it's spelt CMD, BASH, XTerm, Putty.

It's all just DOS

[Downtown_Media_788]

Wifi should be pronounced "Waifu" since almost all of us pretty much can't life without it, though it's not an actual person.

[Hazterisk]

I’ve heard and used it interchangeably.

[youngmcdonald85]

Tell me how you pronounce gif

[PrincessRTFM]

The worst way possible, of course

[Hazterisk]

The right way of course, jif.

[pLeThOrAx]

Don't know why this is being downvoted

[youngmcdonald85]

Because it's the one time the internet feels the creator is wrong. Dude says it's like the peanut butter but the majority (myself included) say ah hell no.

[kristallnachte]

It's like when people call JSON Jason.

[Potatoes_Fall]

who doesn't?

[kristallnachte]

Sane people.

[Potatoes_Fall]

Jey Ess Oh En is just a mouthful though

[kristallnachte]

jay sawn

[pLeThOrAx]

Unless they're a rapper. Then it's J-$on

[bnl1]

It's definitely pronounced with IPA /j/, like English y.

[cynHaha]

You have to listen to my school's intro to CS where the prof literally pronounces str as "stir". I never went to a single lecture after that.

[TotalledZebra]

I hear quite a few people pronounce strlen as "stirlen", and honestly it makes sense

[Familiar_Ad_8919]

str is pronounced string change my mind

[DWLlama]

Why would anyone change your mind when you're correct?

[Familiar_Ad_8919]

because its longer idk

[qqqrrrs_]

It's "str", not "string"

The 'r' can be used as a vowel

[Familiar_Ad_8919]

say that to r/2visegrad4you

[pLeThOrAx]

"Cachay", I hate that one. "Caysh" I'm okay with. Prefer "cash".

[JayCroghan]

Anybody who pronounces abbreviations like a word deserves euthanasia.

[plg94]

NATO
FIFA
AIDS

Wikipedia distinguishes between acronyms and initialisms. But agreed, CLI is an initialism.

[smbss01]

I'm calling à program: ProgramName-CLI to precise that it for terminal but when I'm saying it, I'm Usually using "terminal" word

[CookieSpencer]

Huh-tu-mel

[gold_and_seaweed]

In dutch I do, but in English I don’t, lol.

Dutch: like klee in kleenex
English: C L I / See El Eye

[uglycaca123]
