I've always pronounced it Ass-key
Count me amongst the Ass-keyers.
Welcome to the fold. First rule of ๐ ๐: claim territory, and keep the isekai clan off our turf.
They give you trouble, you call me, captchisce? ๐ค
capped-key-shay?
I was trying to combine Captcha with Capisce (pronounced capeesh, like an italian mobster) as a joke, but I'm not sure it landed ๐
Ah, I get it now. :)
There seems to be a rendering error in three places here.โ
I, too, am an ass-key man

Hey everybody, the Asskey Man's back!

Yup, Japan says it's ass-key.
That's the only way I've ever heard it pronounced in actual speech. Of course, the only times I have heard people talking about it IRL is in CS classes and the like. I don't know many tech nerds IRL to have conversations about computer standards with.
