No men allowed in town! </botw>
Jokes aside, am I the only person who's only ever pronounced it vee? I don't really interact with anyone else who uses it in person, so I've only ever really seen it in text.
- 40four 6y agoHaha. Ah yes, the rare third pronunciation! I’ve honestly never heard ‘via’ or ‘vee’. ‘Vee-eye’ is most certainly the correct way, as any old timer will tell you :)
- Shared404 6y agoThus I've learned today. It makes sense now that I think about it, along with ls, rm, cp etc. I just never put two and two together, but at least now I know :)
- 40four 6y agoHeh, like a lot of things in programming, there are always multiple camps on pronunciations. I always heard vee-eye from the senior dev I started with. Sounds like a lot of folk do say ‘via’ though. You should start the ‘vee’ camp and see if it sticks :)
- Shared404 6y agoPerhaps I will, might be fun.
- shric 6y agoJust don't pronounce it "six"
- Koshkin 6y agoOr, as a Roman citizen would, “sex”.

- Talanes 6y agoNo, I'm right there with you. I'm young enough (which is saying increasingly less) to have encountered vim and then vi, rather than the other way around. Vee came as the most natural way of pronouncing vim without the M.
- Shared404 6y agoThat's exactly what happened with me, I wonder if that's where the pronunciation will end up over time.
