How do you pronounce...

singist · 21 Mar 2006 at 21:14

Pronounce it "repository" ....... (no, it's not something you push up there !)

fireblade900 · 21 Mar 2006 at 21:16

ar-kive

Domo · 21 Mar 2006 at 21:17

Ar-Kive!

A more frequent pronounciation consideration in IT is the word cache.
Some say Kaysh, and some say Cash!!?? That's a whole new thread though

If you want to say it a la francais it's "lon-jeh-rhee"

Unfortunately there's no letter in english for the phoenetic spelling of the french pronounciation

(no r)

Ah, this might be a contentious one - is it reposihtree or reposihtoree? I prefer the former

(ph)Ar-kive. Like they taught me in (ph)skool.

I look into the 'ee-th-errrr' but if I have a choice I choose 'ee-ver'.

But I do sort of see what you mean with the th, it should be a mixture of th and v.

Oh and ar-kive.

Arc-hive.

That said, I have a speech impediment and can't pronounce 'th'

So yes, I say 'Ve ball.'

Even worse is when it;s a soft th...Thistle becomes Fissel.

AR-KIVE

And i say Eye-ver when its "i didnt do it either" and "ee-ver" when i say "its between Ee-ver this or that" depends on how fluent it will sounds or something like that.

And i say cache as CASH-AY.....cashy.....cash-aayyy like im french

CASH just sounds damn wrong

"Alright alright, lets not arg about it!"
