"Euler" instead of "Oiler"
Not sure how an American would pronounce "oiler" but if it's "oil" as in "sunflower oil" then that's a pretty good emulation of the original German pronounciation of "Euler"...
Another anology
Euler-Room Boiler-Room
Roughly the same. (Minus the B of course)
Are there people actually out there saying "S-Q-L-ite"?
> Linus (Torvalds) technically "LEE-nuhs" in those European languages while "LYE-nihs" in English, but he actually doesn't care what you say It's hard not to forgive people to pronounce your name wrong, when they've never met you or anyone that pronounces it correctly. They've only read it on the screen and they still say your name as best they can.
Regex should be "reg-ex" rather than any of the listed pronunciations since it's just short for regular expression
In my experience most people that say regex a lot tend to pronounce it "rezh-eks". The softening drop from g to j to zh is a fascinating one in this context, and I think makes it easier to pronounce a lot. I'm not one to argue that it is the "right" pronunciation in general, but it is the "feels right" pronunciation to me.

For a very long time I thought "cache" was pronounced with a voiced e, "cach-ay", probably cause I thought of "cachet".
