By the way I’m now using Dee-Emm-Zed religiously and none of you can stop me.

@FlohEinstein a bunch of Australians say “d em zee” as a word not an acronym tho

[floheinstein@chaos.social]

@hacks4pancakes I had a colleague who pronounced DMZ like Dempsey

@hacks4pancakes My first (and only) "proper" digital oscilloscope is a Rigol DS1054Z, based on the review of the Australian EEVBlog guy, so in my head it's canonically "D-S Ten Fifty Four Zed".

@hacks4pancakes grant jansky can never be blamed!

[ghostinthenet@hachyderm.io]

@hacks4pancakes I’m Canadian and am 100% with you. “Zee” is not a letter of the alphabet.

[prophetscross@mastodon.social]

@hacks4pancakes I had a coworker that called UEFI "yooeffi" and Ubuntu "uunbuntu", Actually quit that job in no small part because of that

@hacks4pancakes As a Brit I say perimeter network

@hacks4pancakes French people looking confused: "Is there any other way to say it ?!"

[codinghorror@infosec.exchange]

@FlohEinstein @hacks4pancakes holy cow, I am legit impressed, and I have a masters degree in mispronunciations

[toadjaune@hostux.social]

@Perrin42 @ExplodingLemur @hacks4pancakes of course we are !

[asl@mastodon.launay.org]

@ghostinthenet @hacks4pancakes I'm French, and I agree with our over the sea cousin.

@ghostinthenet @hacks4pancakes

As a child, the only time I ever heard someone say Zee when they meant Zed was Sesame Street. This built a strong subconscious bias that anyone who said Zee was probably a muppet.

@ghostinthenet @hacks4pancakes had a way too long conversation with someone from Boston about a drive I'd mapped. Couldn't understand her confusion until I realized that she hadn't understood that the word I was saying to describe the drive, was simply the last letter of the alphabet. I swear the American's changed it just to make the song rhyme.

@OSchell @hacks4pancakes meanwhile in Italy we say "Di Emme Zeta" and "Zeta scaler"...

[not_a_label@toot.lgbt]

@hacks4pancakes welcome to the true way 🥳

Also, with all the shit going on in the world, it gives me joy to see you thriving in your new home despite <gestures at everything>
