I still pronounce it as “n-jinx” in my head.

    Wtf?

    It’s Jason. If they wanted it pronounced that way, they should’ve spelled it differently…

    Like GIF

    Sorry, no, at least one could argue GIF. JSON is a single freakin’ vowel short of a common male name.

    Morons.

        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
