    I feel like this one is relatively uncontroversial

    URL pronounced as "earl" however? I'll spend all of my remaining energy in life ensuring the person saying it is stapled to the bottom of the Mariana trench with rebar

    Lots of people do, and it makes no sense.

    How do you pronounce "J"?

    How do you pronounce "son"?

    Now put them together.

    Oh I get it!

    How do you pronounce "e"?

    How do you pronounce "yes"?

    Now put them together for "eyes"!

    Sure, that explains why people pronounce it that way now. What I'm wondering is why people started pronouncing it that way in the first place. When I see the letters JSON, my brain parses it as J-SON. It's even a common first name ffs.
