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

Don't most people just pronounce it Eck-ma?

Since the association renamed itself to “Ecma International” in 1994, I believe we can just call it Eck-mah-script.

>>stuart+(OP)
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.

>>stuart+(OP)
And it sounds like a skin condition.

>>hn_thr+T
Flaky when under pressure? Irritating results? Sites look and feel better without it?

Sounds appropriate to me.

>>stuart+(OP)
It should've been called AcmeScript. The association with Wile E. Coyote would've been fitting.

>>mattke+v
It is pronounced like that, typically

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

>>sph+n5
That’s actually the perfect name for it!
