- jrh206 6y agoHeavy side - it’s a pun
- function_seven 6y agoMy first interpretation was heveh-side or hevi-side. I have no idea what the correct pronunciation is. But between you and me, I think we have some viable candidates.
- n4r9 6y agoAt university in the UK it was always pronounced heavy-side.
- javajosh 6y agoSame. I guess I'll continue saying it that way. But I always feel so awkward about it!
- delecti 6y agoFrom the IPA pronunciation guide of Oliver Heaviside's wikipedia page (mouse over the bit in parenthesis right after his name at the top of the page), "heavy side", with a slight emphasis on the first syllable of "heavy". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Heaviside https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Heaviside
