There are only 2 ways of pronouncing that, "Ascii enema" or "Ass cinema", both butt related... bit unfortunate.

There's also "askeynemma", which sounds a little like a disease

It's "ask-inema" in my head.

  That's the obvious answer. This is a name that looks great when reading, but sounds awful when spoken.

I have been pronouncing it Askinnema in my head, because that's how people pronounce ASCII, and I then just added the suffix in what is the most natural way to say it for me - I'm ESL though.

Still not as bad as the BlackBerry company (Research In Motion, or RIM) careers website, "RIM.jobs"

  Or the old 'expertsexchange.'

    or penisland.net. I'm afraid to look it up at work but as of a few years ago, it's still active.

      It's still there. The "Pen Island" pen company. God damn.

        "Q: Can I provide my own wood? A: In most cases we can handle your wood. We do require all shipments to be clean, free of parasites and pass all standard customs inspections." I don't know how to interpret this now.

    Would you really want your sex change done by someone who's not an expert?

      It certainly beats a kidsexchange (which was some kind of daycare website back in the day, if memory serves).

Thank you. I was apparently flagged just for pointing out the same and my comment has vanished. It was relevant. QQ

Or, "ascii nema", just like it's spelled. But yeah, I can't get past the name; for this very reason.

I've just been mentally saying "ASCII Cinema" I know it is objectively wrong but it's what the name is saying
