I think there is a lot of topics one might discuss online that you don't talk with others AFK with, and then the connection between spelling<>pronunciation never gets cemented.
I see the same thing all the time with Etherium/Ethereum as well for example.
I had the same problem when NGINX first came out. It wasn't until maybe a year later after starting to use it that I actually talked with another person AFK about NGINX, and they said "engine-x" which I had never heard of.
