I had a lot of trouble with "tuple": is it "too-pul", "tyu-pul" (like pupil) or "tupple" (like supple). I've heard it pronounced all ways by now
I said "etcetera" for the unix /etc path for years before someone corrected me.
Idempotent anyone? Eye-dempotent or id-empotent?
Back in the BBS days I used to pronounce "warez" like "juarez", growing up in a spanish speaking community, and not knowing it was short for "softwares".
Arguably it's missing "Engine X" (NGinx), "Skasee" (SCSI) and "Pixie" (PXE).
For a very long time I thought "cache" was pronounced with a voiced e, "cach-ay", probably cause I thought of "cachet".
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I take issue with the options of "RAY-ghex" and "RAY-jeks." In my experience you can say either "REH-ghex" or "REH-jeks."
Reg like regular, from whence it comes. Regular Expression.
Since regex ultimately comes from Latin and has a g followed by an e, pronouncing it with a soft g is rather natural.
