Eh thernet or Ethernet?

[peterattheboro]

How do you pronounce it?

I normally say 'e'thernet and think that when people say 'eh'thernet it's just silly!

 

[platypus]

Ehthernet.

 

[Zefan]

Ehthernet. It's just the right way.

 

[Luke]

eethernet.
I've never heard anyone say it any other way.

 

[Delvis]

I say E-Fur-net ...

Is EFF-er-net the correct way then?

And yes, the spelling is wrong obviously.

I say Ethernet because thats how its spelt. And if you just said Ethernet you concur.

 

[Delvis]

Well, sort of - but who says "fur" when it is "thur"?

It just pronounciation, I don't really class 'Thur' as a word...unless it's coupled with something.

 

[Sarduk]

It just pronounciation, I don't really class 'Thur' as a word...lol

Its not a word, it is a phonetic

When you say "other", you don't say "ofur" do you?

 

[Cuchulain]

It's ee-ther-net, the inventor stated "The word ether came from lumeniferous ether".

[z0mbi3]

Eth-er-net

No!

It's eethernert emphasiss on the eeeeeeeeeee.

 

[Helium_Junkie]

Well, sort of - but who says "fur" when it is "thur"?

I do. Never learned to say TH sounds for some reason. Everything in my world is said with an f or a v instead

 

[Delvis]

Its not a word, it is a phonetic

When you say "other", you don't say "ofur" do you?

Well no, because that is one word...Ofur would sound more like 'Offuor'

Anyway, I said Fur instead of Thur, as when you read Fur, that what Ther sounds like.

I don't even know what Phonetic means, so that doesn't really help me
