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.

This is me
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-too
I read it as
dev dat tee oh.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) TogetherThis might be the reason, I'm not sure.Influence of locality. I guess for me it's the tone I use with pronouncing it. The
toowill be at a very low tone than thedev. This could also be regional or just coincidentalI will never kick the habit of saying the dot.
dev dot tooI see what's going on here. I won't be convinced
😂🤣
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 😂
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.
