Ask HN: How do you say it?
I'm sure I'm not the only one whose introduction to computers consisted of sitting home alone and hacking away and only ever communicating about technical terminology via non-spoken media like IRC. What I wonder is if anyone else consequently developed their own quirky pronunciations for technical terms that differ wildly from convention.
As an example, I may pronounce "sudo" as "sue dough" or say "regex" with a soft "g", but what really makes my colleagues laugh at me is when I pronounce "bin" and "lib" with long i's (as in "binary" and "library").
