Huh, this made me realize all these years that I've been pronouncing it as "jay-sawn." Is it really pronounced like "Jason?"
I've heard both. Personally, I will continue to pronounce it "Jay-Sawn" until I hear a damn good reason for why I should stop.
What if I told you the guy that invented it is named Jason?
He’s probably not, but what if?
Damn, that's a good reason
He's called Doug.
I pronounce it Jay-Son
I say "Zhee-SOHN" to sound all fancy...until my coworkers start throwing stuff at me.
Im still saying json and you can't change my mind
Dammit... Now I can't say it correctly
Yes
