Had a recruiter email me recently saying:
"JASON knowledge is an advantage..."
Yep. I still don't know jason
"JASON knowledge is an advantage..."
Yep. I still don't know jason
Someone like me probably set them down the wrong path!
You'd probably be hard pressed to understand what they're talking about :) - for example JSON is definitely JASON, and you'll be looked at funny if you don't pronounce it that way :) , and Ajax is pronounced like the Dutch football team.
If I don't hear it on a video or a talk, I'm probably pronouncing it wrong (and not knowing I am). I hope to get corrected if I do.
I worked on a portlet system a few years back (oh the horror!) with a Chinese dude. Super developer. It wasn't until the last day that I figured out what he meant when he said 'poorer led'. Should have figured it out sooner looking back :D
