What is the pronunciation of vim? [closed]

Tags:

vim

Is there a standard pronunciation?

Some tells me to read V-I-M, but someone tellls me to read /vim/.

The right way is V-I-M or /vim/?

This can be read in the help at :h pronounce

Vim is pronounced as one word, like Jim, not vi-ai-em. It's written with a capital, since it's a name, again like Jim.

From Vim documentation...

"Vim is pronounced as one word, like Jim, not vi-ai-em. It's written with a capital, since it's a name, again like Jim"
