Common adult webmaster misconceptions.
 

Do you guys realize that there is a good number of you guys that do not know the correct pronunciations of a number of commonly used terms in our industry?

For instance, how do you pronounce 'urls'? I pronounce it as U.R.L.s. (you-are-els). I've heard people say 'urls', like 'murals' and it's just not right, right?

Please correct me if I am wrong here.

I also pronounce 'jpeg' as 'jay-peg'. How do you guys say 'gif', 'jiff' or 'giff'?

correct

now pronounce 'cache'

how bout cache or sponcer sponser wtf

$$$

oh yeah i say giff

Ya beat me to it!

I pronounce .gif as giff.....and url as in U.R.L....jay peg for .jpeg...

ural doesn't sound right.

But, then I was taught that .avis were ahvees...not a v i's....

how about .swf

i spell it out but some say 'swif'

yeah good thread!

it's funny to see how people pronounce different terms & different nicknames

I've heard 'mysql' pronounced about 4 different ways

I believe that that's supposed to be pronounced 'My ess-que-ell'.

That's how I say it, but I've also heard "my-see-kwill"

Jiff

Jay Peg

My s q l

S w f

money

cash

My first website that I made, when Frontpage 98 first came out, was a warez site. Many people that ran those sites wouldn't know how to say it. It's 'wares', like 'softwares' - not 'ware-rez'!

:glugglug

like

where's waldo? :Graucho

my first site was a warez site too...then jasc sent me a nasty letter & i had to shut it down

i had no clue how to pronounce it until a year ago ;)

And, no matter how often I'm corrected, I still pronounce it

ah-vees.

Sigh.

I say "swiff" not s-w-f.. seems natural as you don't call a gif g-i-f you say "giff"

i say u-r-l rather than "ural" or "earl"

cache.. depends, for some reason many people say "kaysh" when talking about computers but "kashay" when talking about other contexts - eg. a "kashay" of weapons.
I use "kaysh" because thats what everyone uses.

when people write "sponcer" it's because they're crap spellers.

I heard Leo, from TechTV, say GIF, like the peanut butter. I guess he's right, right?

Years ago, I had a friend come up to me and ask me if I could hook him up with any "war - ezz sites"... That shit is so much funnier in person :1orglaugh

Here's one: It's KazaA, like when you stick your tounge out and say ahhh - Not Kaza.

:Hollering

i used to know someone that said wah-res (warez) and lin-you-ex (linux) also heard kaza but as for cache, i believe the english and americans have different pronunciations, i tihnk english is kay-shh, americans is cash. correct me if im wrong. ive also heard cash-aye before

"jiff"

LOL, I know someone who kept pronouncing it "worries"
Drove me batty, I didn't have a clue what he was talking about.

cache = $
gif = giff
url = U R L
stfun00burtehscuck = if i need to spell this one out you're sooo fired

That's a new one!

:1orglaugh

Like Wassaaaaaaaa-bee?


Also, "niche" for me is not "nitch", but more like "nee-sh".

i thaught it was notch, like "you're just another notch on my cane"

:)

BUMP!

:Graucho

cashet is a different word with a different meaning and pronunciation than 'cache', I think that's where you're getting tripped up. And I pronounce cache as 'cash' which is obviously the only correct way. Because I do it that way :)

avi = a v i
url = url
mysql = my s q l
gif = giff
url = u r l
