    Ahs-see. The hard C following a vowel and preceding a long vowel makes “ck” seem wrong to me.

    Quick, I need an American. How do you guys pronounce ‘isekai’? Going off the correct Japanese pronunciation this post does not make any sense. These things aren’t even close in the way I say them.

      ih-seh-kai, and ASCII like ass-key. They aren’t close, to me.

      i usually would hear EE-seh-kai or EE-say-kai, given that its basically I and Sekai(meaning world in japanese) put together. so how you pronounce the latter should depend on how you pronounce the word Sekai

      Ee-sik-kai and ass key. I bet I’m double wrong but less wrong than OOP. There not close.

    The joke is that ‘isekai’ in Japanese translates to “another world” in English. 1985 was truly another world, as anyone who was there might attest.

      That’s the only way I’ve ever heard it pronounced in actual speech. Of course, the only times I have heard people talking about it IRL is in CS classes and the like. I don’t know many tech nerds IRL to have conversations about computer standards with.

      Lemmy is the only place I’ve seen EBCDIC referenced, other than the college class that introduced me to it.
