Wikipedia writes that `ed' would be pronounced ``ee-dee'' (like
``vee-eye''), is that what you english speakers do? To me (a
native German speaker) it naturally was ``ed'' (like ``sam'').
As a native english speaker...
'ed', as in the man's name. I pronounce 'vi' as you have it
above,
but others at work pronounce it as 'vye' (as in 'vying'), so no
consistency there.
We also have local inconsistencies for how JIRA is pronounced,
so don't expect a canonical answer.
And what about the pronounciations of `ex' and
`qed'?
I can't say I've pronounced them before, but I think of
former as 'ee-x', I'd be inclined to pronounce the latter
as 'queue-ed'. Since Q-E-D has its own meaning.
What about `od'? (That I pronouce
``oh-dee''.)
agreed; otherwise confusing with 'odd'.
But who knows how the authors pronounced them.
