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.
I couldn’t say. There is an older guy in my group who calls it “Jason”. Also we have 2 guys on my team named Jason and the back end jason now goes by J-Sahn. I have always read it j sahn and I have no idea why.
I say Jay-sahn.
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”!

Legendary
So, how do you say “J” then?
“ᒋ”?
LOL! I wouldn’t pronounce “J son” like Jason, either!
“Son” is pronounced “sun”. Jason is pronounced Jay-sin.
Also, I’ve had coworkers named Jason, and I want to be able to say “Use JSON” without it sounding like I’m saying “Use Jason”.
You sound like a fun person to work with.
