was just thinking personally pronounce it "car" but it's short for "character" which don't pronounce the first part like "car"

@RadicalEdward char-actor is the only correct way to pronounce the word.

@RadicalEdward obviously, we’re all wrong and it’s pronounced “chair”.

@jb I kid you not I had a coworker that pronounced git like "jit". never heard anyone correct them, but we did all still pronounce it hard-g git.

can't tell if it was a "gif" joke, but they kept at it without a word and no one else said anything. just pronouncing it different past each other.

@jb or watch candidates eyes twitch as you explain "we were on jithub but moved to a selfhosted jitlab to better fit into our CI pipeline"

@RadicalEdward @jb you're supposed to pronounce the “th” as ð or þ (eth or thorn), as in either “the” or “thing”

@u0421793 @RadicalEdward “jith-ubb” has a certain ring.

@RadicalEdward I'm super inconsistent. For example, while I pronounce "char" like "kare," I pronounce "chattr" like "Chatter," and "chmod" as "see aitch mod."

I've never said "chgpasswd" verbally before, so I don't know how I'd handle that one, lol.

@RadicalEdward lol. Also, since 'car' is in there, there should also be 'chair' to really get some mileage out of that word.

@RadicalEdward it sounds more like "care", in "character"
