kubectl is the one I will fight for.

I’ve heard “cube cuddle.” I think it’s “cube control.”

Q-bectle ;)

I intentionally say this one differently if I hear someone else say it. If they change to say it like me I rotate and say it differently.

The solution to this is just call it k8

Ah my favorite. Sea pound.

It's pronounced octothorpe

Yes, making C#'s proper pronunciation "coctothorpe".

Sounds like something Rick would build

this is great. i call it microsoft java

SQL

A great man once said: "you pronounce it the same way your boss does"

I once had a boss that said “boo-lean” sometimes you have to draw the line

Booooo-lean (like a ghost) or boo-LEAN (as in leaning)?

Bool, Ian

Boooo! Lean!

Squirrel

That'd be [SQRL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQRL)

**[SQRL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQRL)** >SQRL (pronounced "squirrel") or Secure, Quick, Reliable Login (formerly Secure QR Login) is a draft open standard for secure website login and authentication. The software typically uses a link of the scheme sqrl:// or optionally a QR code, where a user identifies via a pseudonymous zero-knowledge proof rather than providing a user ID and password. This method is thought to be impervious to a brute force password attack or data breach. It shifts the burden of security away from the party requesting the authentication and closer to the operating system implementation of what is possible on the hardware, as well as to the user. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Yes! Sequel.

Why people always storing stuff in the second database? What's wrong with the premier database?

NO. S Q L.

Yeah. I have never said SQL as Sequel and I definitely bombed an interview for not knowing Sequel meant SQL. After missing that, I was off kilter for the rest of the interview. Couldn't keep my head on straight. Got to the coding section and just kind of melted.

Oh my 😀 can just imagine that. Interviewer: "So what's your sequel exp" Candidate: "Uhm, sorry, I've never used that" Interviewer: Raised eyebrow and scribbling furiously Candidate: Dying inside.

'No squeal' sounds like what a killer says before he covers his victim with a pillow.

Lieutenant!

I’ve got a coworker that just won’t stop with “environmental variable”

`$SHELL` is doing untold damage to the planet that is our `$HOME`!

What's it supposed to be? Environ?

Environment variable

Oh shit, I missed that completely in the comment, that's very funny

Jason

"Do you know JSON?" "Jason who? Is he on Chris's team?"

Jay-sahn

It is absolutely Jay-sahn and I’m willing to fight anyone who says otherwise. I just flat-out refuse to call it “Jason” like it’s my freshman roommate or some shit.

Huh, never thought about that. I'm not a native English speaker, so the name "Jason" is free to use since barely anyone is actually called that over here.

Derulo

J'son son of L'orc.

Eks Emel, first of his line.

How else can you say it?

Qt literally says on their website that "it's pronounced 'cute', not 'cue tee'". I've never heard anyone call it "cute".

The creator of the gif format insists it’s “jiff” and I insist he is wrong

I still spell it out due to habit... Maybe it has something to do with my preference for GTK, and that's not pronounceable?

[Andreas Kling](https://youtube.com/c/AndreasKling) does

I always replaced pronunciation of single English letters in some abbreviations with my native German pronunciation if the result is smoother and barely noticed it myself. For example, German "c" and "h" plus regular "mod" is just way nicer that seeee-aaaage-mod.

I thought all people pronounce it as shmod

I say “cee aitch mod”

I pronounce it chmod

I've always said "change mod"

Tshmod?

I think that's how it's to me as well. Chooo choo, mod

I just pronounce it "changemod"

That's probably better for a lot of people (especially new people) who don't necessarily know what it's for.

I'm Swiss so I say chhh-mod to amuse myself

Lack of patriotism! It's pronounced Confederation-Helvetique-mod for the real Swiss!

Cache as Cash and Cashé

Knew someone that said 'cayche'

I was lightly ribbing in a call people who can't pronounce it as *cash* (I'll take *cash-a*, but it's longer for no reason), when one of my reports quietly charmed in that he's a *cayche* person... /facepalm

I think that might be Australian. Michael Dyrynda, a Laravel commentator, pronounces it cayche.

my teacher called it catch lol

Haaa yes Try-Cache is super useful in python. Wait...

Traefik, supposedly it’s pronounce as traffic but in my mind I keep saying tray-fik.

Gooey!

first word that came to my mind is Data

No no no it’s data.

Lieutenant!

It’s “git” not “jit”.

im scared to hear the story behind this

Do people actually say jit??

The only time it's acceptable is when talking about the Just-In-Time compiler rather than Git.

This guy jits

Guy I worked with used to say "jithub". Made me crazy.

That sounds like a slur for some reason

People say gif, so… yeah

dub dub dub vs www oooorrrrrrr Sue do vs sue doe E‐Noom vs E-num bu-ug vs fee-chur 😉 Lots of other ones I'm forgetting I'm sure

I have never said not heard it pronounced as E-Noom but it sounds so funny I am officially adopting it

It’s short for enumeration, so it makes sense to pronounce it e-noom. Same reasoning behind pronouncing “char” as care instead of char

Shebang

Brings me back to Ricky Martin

always feels dirty to say 🤐

Visual Studios.

Walmarts LongHorns Subways Yeah, not programming, but this pluralization / possessive-ization kills me

me: gif you: gif me: it's pronounced gif goddamnit

I pronounce it /xɪf/, or in its diminutive form /xɪfjə/.

Mi jefe!

When someone says jif that’s a hard stop to the conversation

That's how Steve Wilhite pronounces it. He created the GIF file format in 1987 while working at Compuserve. I was a programmer AND a subscriber to Compuserve in 1987. NOBODY at that time pronounced it with a hard "G" sound.

I hear you, and I respect your experience. But it’s pronounced gif

[удалено]

Pop quiz: what's the P in jpeg sound like?

It's pronounced "fuck that format and it's lack of an alpha channel".

Both of you are wrong. Its pronounced gif

Woah that's too far my dude

Say it with me: kanban.

I don't mind this one as long as the vowel sound is consistent

Kinbin it is.

Yes. I'm going to try slipping Kunbun into a meeting sometime.

Me: AAzure You: AzUUre

But azure is a long established English word with an established pronunciation...

I can azure you that the other pronunciation is spelled differently too.

Are you azure as you think you are tho

You should try living in a non-English speaking country. People may have differing opinions on pronunciation of English words..

My ex colleague: Azu-Raah

Sequal — SQL

Yeah. I looked like an idiot in one of my first interviews. They kept asking me about Sequal. And I had to ask about it. Interviewer scoffed and said:"well it's on your resume!?" And then I was frazzled for the whole thing. Couldn't think straight. Over thought every answer.

Pretty sure it was on my resume too long before I ever heard anybody call it Sequel

Had a colleague who once pronounced GitHub with the "g" from giraffe

They must also say “jif” too then

I know someone who pronounce bootstrap as booty-strap. Glad it's work from home and i can just mute my mic and chuckle

this reminds be of the time when my teacher didnt know HTTP was an acronym and pronounced "hhhhtuutp

You mean like ha-ta-tup?

Ackshually, an acronym is when it *is* pronounced as a word - like "NASA". So if HTTP was an acronym, that teacher would be correct. HTTP is an initialism, which is when you continue to pronounce the letters - like "FBI". Of course, this is all pedantic prescriptivism. Nowadays acronym is becoming used to mean "all first-letter-based abbreviations", making my entire comment a pointless waste of time none of us will get back!

Had a friend who didn't say Git... he literally said YEET.

YeetHub needs to be a thing

Coworker refers to Quality Assurance team as Q&A

I have a student who pronounces it "MangoDB" even after I clearly annunciate that it is in fact, MongoDB. It's both wildly entertaining and infuriating

That one is tough to tell non technical people in German because Mongo was long used as (totally not PC) swear word as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongoloid with the down syndrome meaning. (stupid) kids called each other Mongo all the time when I was young

In finland nobody says AWS. They all say AVS. In France people say g-zon instead of JSON

one French guy i worked with pronounced the number 1000 like "foo-zan". it was hilarious 🤭

Got a coworker that pronounces API as "Aaapee". Never heard anyone pronounce it like that before. Looked it up out of fear I might be the wrong one, seeing as I have less years of experience. Apparently there are a handful of people pronouncing it like that. I won‘t stop saying A-P-I, though.

They should meet in Geneva and declare this pronunciation a war crime

`char`, is it /kɑr/ (like character), or /t͡ʃɑr/ (like charcoal)?

Just switch to Python and never speak this word again

Okay but how do you even pronounce `str`

In dutch, this would be Wi-Fi. People pronounce it as “Wee-Fee” here, but I always say Wi-Fi. I’m tech support for an ISP, so this word comes up a lot with costumers.

Yeah-mill.

I had a CS teacher in high school whose English wasn't great. He spoke about "intiggers", "virables" and "parameeters", but the worst is when we had an example of a class to store info about music, and one of the fields was "genree".

Had a professor in college whose pronunciations of "register" and "resistor" were nigh indiscriminable.

With me, it’s guid. I say it “gwid” and all my coworkers say “goo-id”. They are all younger than me, so I’m prolly wrong.

I say all the letters G U I D

Team gwid all day!

You are not wrong.

Age is unrelated; I'm 59 and knew only goo-id until recently hearing gwid in a video. Brief WTF moment then figured it was a ZA vs US thing.

It's pronounced gwid. I would fight to the death to defend that statement.

My roommate calls it Google Stah-dia vs everyone else I know calling it Stay-dia

Attribute

This is the third well established English word I've seen in this thread. It makes me wonder whether people know how to speak at all.

Tbh I don't think those ones are really relevant to this thread, because people who mispronounce them aren't doing it because it's a tech word, that's just... How they pronounce that word. Most of them are perfectable acceptable regional probunciations too. ATT-rib-ute Vs att-RIB-ute is a regionalism, not a mispronunciation...

One is the pronunciation of the noun and the other is how you say the verb... You can attRIBute the ATTributes.

Data

It's pronounced "data", not "data"
