I was once talking to someone who pronounced "warez" as "war- ezz". Maybe he was also a softwar developer.

@El_Heffe was it me? I always called it war-ezz
then again, i also call the movie DessPeeCobLay May, because i guess that is just a thing i do.

Me too. I also have no idea how to pronounce Drupal.

@Karla It's gotta be pronounced like Paypal right? So, Paypull. Clearly DruhPull.

It always amuses me when I see topics where British, Americans and other English language speakers debate about pronunciation of whatever, while I and other slavs just read the letters.

Ł
was invented to imitate RussianЛ
, which both predates and sounds different thanW
. TheŁ
was pronounced like EnglishW
only by peasants, but after Soviets murdered all aristocracy and scholars, it became mainstream.As for why we have
W
and notV
, I blame Germans.

But Russian Л already has an equivalent in the Roman alphabet, which is
L
.

@hungrier there's some subtle differences. Most notably, unsoftened
Л
sounds much more but not quite likeW
.
