I want to apply just so I can pronounce it "tipst" during the whole interview.
What, like an anglophone who can't tell the difference between the i and y sounds?
(Or do the anglos actually pronounce it "tajpst"?)
It's clearly intended to be typist, an English word. It's spelled tipst/taipst.
The y sound is ambiguous without a known pronunciation (tryst is pronounced trist not traist)
Honestly, I pronounce it differently and now I'm a bit more paranoid.
It's like when I called LaTeX latex and my friend burst out laughing.
Another hard CS problem dropped: pronouncing project names.
Is it not pronounced /leiteks/?
Apoarently it's, and forgive my lack of proper notation, la-tech.
Nah, I refuse to buckle to this nonsense. I’ll pronounce latex even harder now.
Or people who think nginx is pronounced engine rather than en-jynx...like hijinks 😱
I also thought latex was latex and I tell you what, I have no plan to correct that error. Because it's very clearly not an error. It's latex. I would also accept Le têx in a super french accent :)
Yeah, it's at best enginex.
