- gnarbarian 5y agoI like "Maggot" better.
- counthoyle 5y agoThis is almost embarassingly geeky, but I pronounce it as "MAH-giht" because the spell list in the original Wizardry game used "MA" as a prefix for the "upgraded" version of mage spells. E.g. "Halito" was "little fire" and "Mahalito" was "big fire". So it's "version control UI" and "better version control UI"
- mrtranscendence 5y agoMaybe as a compromise I could pronounce "muh-git", as in "emacs has a good client fer usin' muh git".
- eddieh 5y agoI pronounce it maggot despite knowing the “proper” pronunciation. I don’t care—it is maggot and that’s that.
