People were confused on that? Hmm, you say it exactly as I have always said it. Good thing we have the important stuff out of the way now
haha. When I get emails from nagios, I generally say that nagios is “nagging” me. From this, I have always pronounce it: nag-ios. (long ‘a’ sound)
Some of my co-workers, however, make the g soft…effectively pronouncing it as naw-gee-os. We have friendly little arguments about it from time to time.
Turns out we are both wrong.
