@bloor it's always Dennis

[lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me]

@g @neil @bloor Or ASS when it's a bad font.

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@lanodan @bloor @g

(I was anticipating "arse", fwiw!)

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@lanodan @bloor @g

Which, I should say, is a sentence that I would prefer not to be taken out of context!

[patnat@social.tchncs.de]

@bloor as ZFS is pronounced Zeffus

[borisschapira@framapiaf.org]

@bloor JSON agrees.

[me_@sueden.social]

@bloor ...and TCP is "teacup"?

[a1ba@suya.place]

@lanodan @bloor @g @neil ASS is reserved for subtitles

@bloor go to hell

@bloor Could be "Denise", and the letters match the acronym better than "Dennis".

[jimsalter@fosstodon.org]

@bloor I cannot read SQL as anything but "squirrel"

PostgreSQL is "post grey squirrel"

@clarfonthey @bloor Still waiting for the RGNTs, though.

@bloor@bloor.tw DNS and JSON, my favourite gay couple

@bloor The "If" is doing the lifting here. It is an abbreviation, therefore it is S.Q.L.

No matter what Americans make of it...

[johntimaeus@infosec.exchange]

@robinadams @bloor

I usually pronounce it squeal

[praetor@mstdn.social]

@bloor I've heard someone say "t-sip" for tcp/ip. Boy...where did you learn networking?
