Wish people would pronounce regex with the same logic
- mijamo 4y agoDon't they? I always used that rule and pronounced it as in REGular EXpression. Do people say it differently? Like a soft g and long e like in "regent"?
- _huayra_ 4y agoIt is easier to make the "j" said for "rejex". The "g" sound is more effortful (it is "made" more in the back of the mouth, compared to "j"). Laziness wins the day again on pronunciation xD
- bee_rider 4y agoI would pronounce it “regular expression.” I can see shortening it in text, it is a lot of letters, but reg-eks seems only marginally shorter than “regular expression” and the latter has normal, easy flowing words without weird stop in the middle. “Reglr spression” “Regula espressen.”
- laserlight 4y agoYeah, where did rejex even come from? Perhaps, people don’t know that it’s regular expression?
