I actually think that people should rather use EcmaScript name instead of JavaScript, because it's a way better name (much less confusing, given that this lang doesn't have anything to do with Java anyway). I wish Oracle started suing people to force everyone to use the better name.

Apart from anything else, ECMAScript is a mouthful! Eeh-cee-emm-ay-script. Five syllables.

It's a genuinely terrible name.

Maybe it should just be pronounced eck-ma-script so it's got the same number of syllables as ja-va-script.

I've only ever heard it pronounced as "EcmaScript" not E-C-M-A Script"
