    Somerset? :laugh:

    Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

      JSON. Do you pronounce it like you would if someone had the name Jason ('jay-sun)? Or more like jay-'sawn ?

          The second way. I've heard people say it Jason but that sounds too weird; using a real person's name for it.

          There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

            I don't pronounce it. But in the privacy of my head I call it Keith.

              I say it like the name Jason, but I know a couple of people who spell it out. And one who spells out the letters (e.g. J-A-Y E-S-S O-H N). He's rather annoying.

              What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

              Okay, I thought I was the only person who felt that way. It actually caused a recent night out to go downhill. Clever girl, attractive, energetic. We were talking about what we do and what we had focused on in school. Then she said it... the computer class that made the most sense to her was "S-Q-L". Reflexively and without even thinking I replied "Oh, SQL! Yeah, have to deal with that all the time." "No, I mean S-Q-L." she corrected me. So I took a sip of my drink while I quickly collected my thoughts, nodded and explained it to her. Yep, that's me. Athlete's tongue. :-\

                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                          The "sequel" pronunciation was deemed obsolete in 1985-86 by ISO and ANSI since the Hawker-Sidley aircraft corporation trademarked SEQUEL for one of their planes. While the 2 pronunciations are acceptable, it's a more common tradition to refer to the language as "S-Q-L" while referring to the database server as "sequel server" - at least among my generation of programmers. Referring to the previous reply above about Jason Vorhees - I saw the original Friday 13th at a drive-in theater when I was a kid. I too was scared spitless, but no one, I mean no one I know pronounces it as "Jay-sawn"; that is just wrong. :)

                                        I pronounce it "jay-sawn". Mostly because Jason is my name and it drives me to know end to attempt to say it like my name when it is clearly spelled different. Can also get confusing in conversation as non-techies might think I'm talking about myself in the 3rd person or something. And I pronounce GIF as "jif" with a soft 'G' and consider anyone that pronounces it with a hard 'G' a hipster that hasn't been around as long in the industry.
