How is cache pronounced?

[Retro2001]

Cache (like on a processor) is pronounced in a similar manner to "cash" (as in money) correct? I have a foolish friend who believes otherwise.

Peace,

[BigJohnKC]

yep, ca$h

 

[PsychoAndy]

cash is correct

cash-ay sounds like something overpriced from a 5th avenue botique

 

[notfred]

yes, it's "cash" not "cash-ay"

 

[Renob]

I was at a store the other day and this dude called it Kachee, I was like what are you talking about and then I said cash and he said its called kachee.

Cache rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. get the memory, save a dolla bill y'all

The word, cache is pronounced the same as cash (money). It is a French word meaning a hiding place. The verb is, cacher, meaning to hide.

I've only heard it mispronounced a few times. Once was at work with an eastern-Indian on the phone. He pronounced it "catch" and kept saying it over and over again "Oh, yes, catch. I know catch. I've cleared catch and cookies. Catch is gone. No more catch."

I thought it was funny. The more he said it, the funnier it got, too

ENn-n-n-n-n < sound of game show buzzer > I'm sorry, hammer09. That's the wrong answer, but Charley, please tell the audience about the fine consolation gifts we have for our departing contestants...

Yawp

cash => kash
cache => kash

 

[GasX]

If someone says Cash-Shay - they either are misinformed or they are talking about "cachet" which is a mark of distinction (i.e. something entirely different)

 

[RSMemphis]

The annoying thing is that people who pronounce it "cach&eacute;" think they are right.

Ick.

I agree with the cash pronounciation.

 

[CStroman]

I know someone who spells it "cashe".

 

[Hammer]

ok, i see humor is lost on this thread. Should I have bolded the 'hehe' or made a 10x10 block smiley faces?

LOL, this reminds me of what my history teacher once said. He was talking about this harddrive he got and he said it was 20 jigabytes.

I'll never forget that.

Like "cash money, bling bling", only without the "money, bling bling".

It took me a while to finally believe that. But I do now, because it's correct.

My favorite way of mispronouncing it would have to be "kack" as said by my former roommate from Boston: "Clean my internet kack? whyda hell wouldahi wanna do that?"
