I’ve always pronounced it Ass-key
Count me amongst the Ass-keyers.
Welcome to the fold. First rule of 🍑 🔑: claim territory, and keep the isekai clan off our turf.
They give you trouble, you call me, captchisce? 🤌
capped-key-shay?
I was trying to combine Captcha with Capisce (pronounced capeesh, like an italian mobster) as a joke, but I’m not sure it landed 😅
Ah, I get it now. :)
There seems to be a rendering error in three places here.␄
I, too, am an ass-key man

Hey everybody, the Asskey Man’s back!
And ready for an Extreme Saxophone Solo! 🎷
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.
I say ass key
ASCII a stupid question and you get a stupid ANSI
ASCII a stupid question
if you’re ISO 8859-1

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.
So was 1975.
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.
I worked for a credit bureau for a while and a product we had used a mainframe for billing customers. So the billing file was in EBCDIC.
Financial and health institutions are famously behind the times.
NERRRRRRRRRRRRD!!!
Okay, Homer.
lulz
isnt it a joke ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isekai,
Ace-Qii as french, however,

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 wouldn’t rather motorboat a sea of ass?
she ascii my keys till i ass er
Ee-sik-kai and ass key. I bet I’m double wrong but less wrong than OOP. There not close.
i usually would hear EE-seh-kai or EE-say-kai, given that its basically I and Sekai(meaning world in japanese) put together. so how you pronounce the latter should depend on how you pronounce the word Sekai
We don’t. We make you speak American, like god intended.
It seems more rikely, if hit by an IBM truck in 1985 that he would be ebcdic’d to Seattle.
Someone once told me that JWT is pronounced “jot”, so I do. People call me a lunatic for it, but I still do.
It’s missing an O sound, that’s why you’re a psycho
Please don’t kill anyone whose net worth is <= 100m
Maybe he’s Welsh.
For me it will always be the James Web(b) Token.
How is it pronounced
Jot. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519#section-1
The suggested pronunciation of JWT is the same as the English word “jot”.
Jay-son web token.
wasnt it jason
Jowt Jawt Juwt Jiwt Jewt
jwit when I am in a good mood, jwat when I am not.
I’m always discombobulated by JWT because I keep thinking it’s some kind of Java web technology.
Even in japanese it’s like asukii
Dai asukii

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.

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.

I had lived in Japan and can speak pretty good Japanese. I can say that this is just straight up wrong. LOL where does one even get this info

One can find little quips like this in Usenet archives:
Donkey Button == Ass Key == ASCII

I’ve also heard “A S C I 2” which seems really weird.
