  Somewhat? Browser cookies can literally contain anything (not just session identifiers, or authentication tokens), I've only heard JWT pronounced "Jay-double you-tea" (but maybe that's regional), Macaroons[0] and Maracrons[1] are French (given clever-cloud is french, this is strange), OPA doesn't need to be server side.

    I think the RFC pronunciation guide > the same as the English word "jot". Only makes sense if your dialect has the cot-caught merger[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cot%E2%80%93caught_merger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cot%E2%80%93caught_merger

      I don't, so perhaps I'm just doomed not to understand, but I still don't get that? I would never pronounce it 'jaught' either (nor know what someone meant if they did).

      Only barely makes sense, you mean. And only if you squint...

      You skipped an important part of the quote from RFC-7519[0] (later replaced by two RFCs[1],[2] without the strange suggestion): > The suggested pronunciation of JWT is the same as the English word "jot". Replaced by RFC-7797[1] and RFC-8725[2], neither of which have the pronunciation suggestion. There was also an errata about the pronunciation line[3], which probably explains the mismatch.

        Those RFCs don’t replace 7519, they are extensions and best practices. “Jot” is still indeed the intended pronunciation, whether you like it or not.

    > I've only heard JWT pronounced "Jay-double you-tea" That doesn't save any effort over "JSON web token".

        Those options are both 5 syllables.
