Talk:DjVu

Dubious

Intention pages by founders have no authority at all over how people actually pronounce the file type: Just look at the wannabe peanut butter misspellers who've been yelling at everyone else for 30 years now. There's absolutely no relation between djvu and "deja vu" and it's highly dubious anyone actually calls it that except hypercorrect gatekeepers. At minimum, the article needs a separate nonprimary source for the idea anyone says it that way in the wild. — LlywelynII 14:34, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Yep. Out of the first 20ish YouTube videos for this file type, the majority are silent tutorials, 8 are saying D-J-V-U, 2 say "deja vu", and 1 calls it D-J-Vu. We shouldn't be pretending the single correct pronunciation is the nonsense the creators attached to it: If they wanted it called "deja vu", they shouldn't used several more letters. — LlywelynII
