From the home page "as-kee-nuh-muh". I've always just pronounced it "ASCII cinema" and hadn't realised it was spelt differently.
- deaddodo 3y agoI've always pronounced it "ASCII enema", today we both learned.
- layer8 3y agoThe “nuh” is weird, as “cinema” is rather pronounced see-neh-muh.
- prmoustache 3y agoDo you guys realize that you should explain how you pronounce those words in the international phonetic alphabet? If you can't agree on how to pronounce asciinema there is little chance you would pronounce "ass" "nuh" "neh" and "muh" the same way.
- layer8 3y agoWell, what should be clear is that “nuh” implies the same vowel as “muh”, which I don’t think is the case for how “cinema” is normally pronounced. And I presume that it’s clear that “neh” is not pronounced the same as “nuh”. My point was not to indicate a precise pronunciation, just that I don’t see how “nuh-muh” would be right. In addition, I personally can’t write IPA and be sure it’s correct, and I would expect that most people also can’t read it.
- satvikpendem 3y agoThat's not how I pronounce it, it's been sih-nuh-muh for me.
