setirich 0 Posted September 15, 2007 Sorry...didn't know where else to post this (the SciTe forum?) but since I hang out here & not there... Ok...how do you say the Sci.... word ? I had a bad episode in an employment interview recently where the manager actually asked me what editor I liked (never had that happen before). I pronounce it like the word "sight". Given the spelling, some folks might want to sound that E on the end, but I think it might be (should be) silent. How about you? Rich (Silent in Michigan... ) Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.-Daniel Webster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssubirias3 1 Posted September 15, 2007 @setirich - good question and even better reason for knowing how to pronouce it correctly. I can see how uncomfortable it would be to have the technical interviewer smirk then say, "oh you mean....." Talk about Yikes!!!I pronounce it - Sigh - TeeMakes sense based on how we say the word Sci-Fi or the SciFi Channel. But is that the accepted way? Kind of like Linux. I once read or heard that the correct what to pronounce Linux was like Linus from Charlie Brown. That x can be tricky.. sometime prounounced "X" or like a "Z" or like an "S". But yeah I'd guess "Sigh Tee" too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmOke_N 211 Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) Well with this many differences, we all have to wait till Jdeb chimes in, and if he's unsure, I'm thinking it's time to make a trip to the SciTe site itself. Edit: I should iterate that the reason I pronounce it the way I do is because of the capital "T".

The Kandie Man 5 Posted September 15, 2007 Those that I know pronouce it as "sight".That is how I pronounce it as well. - The Kandie Man ;-) "So man has sown the wind and reaped the world. Perhaps in the next few hours there will no remembrance of the past and no hope for the future that might have been." & _"All the works of man will be consumed in the great fire after which he was created." & _"And if there is a future for man, insensitive as he is, proud and defiant in his pursuit of power, let him resolve to live it lovingly, for he knows well how to do so." & _"Then he may say once more, 'Truly the light is sweet, and what a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to see the sun.'" - The Day the Earth Caught Fire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
