I pronounce it 'dev - too' and I can't seem to get used to this. I'm sometimes tempted to leave it at just 'dev' but that's just akwardly generic.

The official way to pronounce it is “dev too” no dot necessary 🙂
Just “dev” generally works in areas of shared context around what you’re talking about.
Well I pronounced it as:-
dev dot too
.Sounds long. Reminds me of a debate over the shortening of api Promise parameters i.e.
I guess in this case I fall into the others category then 😁
🤣 post for another day
obligatory code comment :D
It had to be done 😤
I throw the dot in there as well!
Me too! I think I do it because it makes it easier for people to just type it into the URL bar.
Sort of like the "www." part in many URLs. Instead of saying "double-you double-you double-you dot..." I made up my own name for "w", which I call "wub".
"wub wub wub dot..." Much more fun to say! I think Rick of Rick & Morty would pronounce it that way.
So for "dev.to", I just say it "dee ee vee dot tee oh". Then I'm reminded of the band Devo, and put on some of their music.
This is so hilarious 😂
I read it as
dev dat tee oh
.Influence of locality. I guess for me it's the tone I use with pronouncing it. The
too
will be at a very low tone than thedev
. This could also be regional or just coincidentalDEV-too
I will never kick the habit of saying the dot.
dev dot too
I see what's going on here. I won't be convinced
😂🤣
Dev - too - oh
I'm weird I know hahahaha
Did you say "I'm weird" so that we don't say it back?
Well you're weird 🤣
Dev 2
This is me
I just call it Dev Community. Btw, what is the purpose of the 'to'? It's to be 'dev too' in like "you are a dev too" or something?
I couldn't find this post but, I saw some design from the community hinting
Develop(ing|ment) Together
This might be the reason, I'm not sure.I pronounced dev too.
Sometimes dev tooooooo.
