minus-squaremumblerfish@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoDo y’all ponounce it as one word? Heard someone once say “c-h-own” and I was confused.
minus-squareJetpackJackson@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoI do, I tend to pronounce it rhyming with “clown”
minus-squaremumblerfish@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoSo an /oun/ instead of an /ōn/? I hate it! :-D
minus-squareTimeSquirrel@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoI say it like “pwn”. As in, if I’m sitting here chown-ing your shit, you’re pretty much pwned.
minus-squaredustyData@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoI deconstruct all commands when used in spoken word, so I pronounce it “change ownership”. I also call ls, “list“ and cd “change directory”. For some reason this completely confuses and disorients everyone in the room.

minus-squarehalvar@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 months agoc and h in my own language (hungarian) and own in english sounds something like pots-café-h-father-own (random words to illustrate the way the letters are pronounced)
minus-squareFrostyCaveman@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoI do, but that’s mostly because an old boss of mine did it, thought it was hilarious, and now I do too, because of the in joke Chown, rhymes with bone.
