I’ve always pronounced it Ass-key
That’s the only way I’ve ever heard it pronounced in actual speech. Of course, the only times I have heard people talking about it IRL is in CS classes and the like. I don’t know many tech nerds IRL to have conversations about computer standards with.
ASCII a stupid question and you get a stupid ANSI
One can find little quips like this in Usenet archives:
Donkey Button == Ass Key == ASCII

Even in japanese it’s like asukii
I say ass key

i pronunce iy AS CEE (c as in the first on ein the word “cicada”) and EE SEH KAY (a as in bat, the “seh” part the e is like in net (thats why i put the h))
idk thats just how we pronounce it in spain
The joke is that ‘isekai’ in Japanese translates to “another world” in English. 1985 was truly another world, as anyone who was there might attest.
Oh right, the “hit by a truck” cliche.
This must be the guy who pronounces it Jif
Hey do you know how to pronounce kys? I’m not 100% sure 😇
calls out a dumb pronunciation of a word Guy who obviously pronounces it the dumb way just so he can feel superior to others - “kill yourself”. Totally normal behavior.
Oooooh is that what it means?
Btw you didn’t get your formatting right, maybe should work on that before calling others dumb.
I didnt call anyone dumb. If youre taking it personally that people think pronouncing GIF, an acronym that stands for Graphical (with a hard G) image format, "jif"is dumb, then maybe you should examine why the pronunciation of that word is such an integral part of your identity. But if you’re so proud of the trivial knowledge that you read in a sentence on a website that you feel the need to lord it over others and consider it a personal affront when people think its silly, then yes maybe you are dumb.
Take a moment to reread the tone of this entire thread, maybe reflect on the concept of taking things personally.
Telling others to kill themselves is not a joke
why aren’t you replying to the original post if you care so much? Super cringe to go 5 levels deep and post your random completely irrelevant opinion.
Alsi this guy here is definitely telling me to kill myself but in a muuuuch more serious tone than my statement 😇, please go harass this shithead since he actually means it. https://tucson.social/comment/2100021
Fuck off you worthless sack of shit.
Wow, hostile aren’t we. Does someone have low blood sugar and need a treat? Maybe some candy butter like JIF would cheer you up in a jiffy.
You are writing this kind of stuff into lemmy because you have no friends you sack of shit. Seems like you’ve been projecting a solution this entire time
Sorry was busy at an event, what’s your concern?
Cause it sure sounds like you’ve turned the pronunciation of a j sound into a hill you’re gonna die on and that’s… Really really sad
Also “joking about Kys is bad but implying someone should actually kill themselves is ok” isn’t the moral high ground you think it is.
Fuck you sack of shit
Someone once told me that JWT is pronounced “jot”, so I do. People call me a lunatic for it, but I still do.
How is it pronounced
Jay-son web token.
wasnt it jason
Quick, I need an American. How do you guys pronounce ‘isekai’? Going off the correct Japanese pronunciation this post does not make any sense. These things aren’t even close in the way I say them.
ih-seh-kai, and ASCII like ass-key. They aren’t close, to me.
That’s ass-sea, you Neanderthal!
It’s much funnier that way, as any right thinking human knows ;)
I know its asskey because asskey unlocked an ass, see?

You sure it wasn’t IBM time travellers from 1985 sent her to ebcdic you?
Lemmy is the only place I’ve seen EBCDIC referenced, other than the college class that introduced me to it.
Lemmy is for sure the only place where I’ve seen a JOKE about it. Nerd.
I like you.
NERRRRRRRRRRRRD!!!
Okay, Homer.
