What spawned this? Someone mispronouncing it on Skype or something?
There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people always bitch about and those nobody uses. (Bjarne Stroustrup)

No, people on #tcpa in IRC were contributing their various butcherings of the pronunciation.

Sorry I've butchered it around school before. Sad

I still can't get myself to always say it like that.... I always accidentally say seam'tech
I used to pronounce it like semetech until i actually took the time to read the homepage.

Yeah, Kerm failz with the "ce" pronunciation Razz

I usually pronounce it Keh'me'tek
Any fool can use a computer. Many do.

Same here.


As long as I've corrected at least a few pronunciations, I'll count that as having done my duty.

hmm...It sounded like one of those online pronunciators. Razz
My mom says KIH-MA-TEK and used to say SEE-MEE-TEK till I told her it was keh-meh-tek, but she still says it wrong >.< I used to say see-mee-tek untill I got in the habit of the correct way.
I had been pronouncing it almost correctly; but then calc84maniac set me straight in the pronunciation of the word. Rolling Eyes

One of the kids at my school say see-mee-tik. Rolling Eyes

Don't have any idea why he can't pronounce the tech part right. Razz

Razz That's the least-commonly butchered part of the whole thing; that takes some serious skill to screw up. You should get said peer to join, though.

I don't remember how I used to pronounce it; but I know it was wrong. Smile
Now I'm right! Very Happy


As far as I know, I originally pronounced it "se-me-tech" before I joined as a member (It was my friend Mike who introduced me to DCS and Cemetech in the first place). I think it was HIS mis-pronouncing that rubbed off on me. Since being a member, I pretty much always pronounce it right.
