How do you pronounce laser?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Or George? Or genius? Or gelatin? Or gender? Or gigantic? Or ginger? Etc, etc, etc...

Yes that's true, but I was specifically replying to the person who said "jraphics", as if an acronym has to follow the pronunciation of the component words... The s in laser stands for stimulated, and we pronounce it like z... Never heard anyone complaining "we don't say ztimulated, so you shouldn't pronounce it as lazer".
