QOTD: How do you pronounce Godot?
(programming.dev)
Go-doh. Pretty sure this is the official spelling.
Guh-doh, but on occasion Go-dot for no reason at all.
Yes! I know that it's pronounced Guh-doh / Go-Doh but I always call it Go-Dot like in ".com"
How much confusion can you put in 5 characters?
Before Godot Engine I knew the word from the play Waiting for Godot. I've always heard that pronounced guh-doh, silent T. So I just went with that.
Go-doh. The French pronunciation. ๐ From "En attendant Godot". Hearing it pronounced "Go-dot" annoys me as much as hearing someone say "jif" instead of "gif". ๐
I've always said go-DOH, personally.
G'day
Lol good question, I swear I've heard people say it about five different ways.
I've been going with "ge-dough" but that's useless because we all have different accents and read these explanations with different pronunciations as well ๐
Make the guh sound like you are teaching a kid the g sound followed by a Homer Simpson yell of Doh!. Extra points for using Homer's volume and inflection every time you say it.
In IPA: /ษกษหdoส/
Go-dough or guh-dough depending on how lazy I feel at the time.
