Last month I discover NGINX is not pronounced "en-jinx", and today I discover SQLite is not pronounced "sequel-light".
2020 is turning out to be pretty terrible guys.
- lioeters 7y agoYou and me both, my friend. Apparently I've been using S-Q-L-ite, not S-Q-Lite. All these years I've been using "Engine-X", not "en-jinx", and didn't know it.. https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/community/faq/ https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/community/faq/
- Volundr 7y agoI only knew it because I had to look up the pronunciation. I kept calling it N-G-I-N-X, but could never remember the spelling.
- barneygale 7y agoWait until you hear how 'valgrind' rhymes with 'grinned'!
- MaxBarraclough 7y agoI've been getting that wrong for quite a while. There's a certain irony in getting the name of a debugging tool wrong.
- zzo38computer 7y agoI have always pronounced "NGINX" as /ŋɪŋks/. So, I was wrong, too. But I always pronounced "SQLite" and "valgrind" properly, at least.
