    Aah-yaks but then, I'm german. now, try to put "german" and "yak" into a snippy reply

    Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

        I thought the football team was pronounced eye-axe.

          Ay-Jacks (ā'jăks). As in, "That's why I switched to Aaayyyy Jacks!" A technique for asynchronous communication between a server and client-side script in a browser. An excellent cleaning product. And also some Greek guy, but he probably pronounced it wrong.

          In China, we just pronounce it A-J-A-X, letter by letter

                In my area of the US at least, we pronounce it "A jacks".
