Well, it isn't as stupid as it looks.
There was already a discussion about this at the alt.comp.lang.java.programmer newsgroup.
 
java is pronounced something like 'djahva'  (and yes, after that discussion, it appeared that the djahva.com domain was still available. Nice, in a few days, I'm gonna start using my [EMAIL PROTECTED] address ;-)
 
Applet and servlet seem rather straightforward to me. Just like they're written down.
EJB and JSP are a often wrongly pronounced as EGB and GSP by non-english speakers.
it should  Djeej es pi  (or something )

(now if the native english find this a non-issue, try to pronounce 'Geert'  ;-)

Subject: Pronounciation?

Hi All !
I'm a new "Asia-located" member of this forum and of JSP, as well. So I wonder how these following words sound in English?
    -Java.
    -Servlet.
    -Applet
    -EJB.
 
Thanks.
 
Hoang Nguyen.
