And JSON is pronounced “javascripton“
Oh my god it’s Javascripton Bourne!
Occasionally i feel myself longing back to the good ol’ JSOFF times.
Wtf?
It’s Jason. If they wanted it pronounced that way, they should’ve spelled it differently…
Like GIF

Morons.
Jason = jay-sun
JSON = jay-sawn
No, it’s pronounced Jason. Douglas Crockford was just too laissez-faire to correct anyone on it probably because he didn’t give a fuck.
If you really just say Jason instead of jaysawn/J-sohn you’re nuts and probably drive everyone crazy with that
