    The only people I’ve heard pronounce it drastically different from Jason are the tech elitist types. You probably know the ones. The arseholes that spend 13 hours a day on tech/programming forums and nitpick every single fucking thing anybody says

    I say it slightly differently from Jason, but barely noticeable. Jason is more like Jas’n, the O mostly vanishes. Similar to Melbourne, it’s not Mel-Born, but you still out yourself as a yank if you say Mel-ben or Mel-bin, because almost everybody from here gets rid of everything between the b and the n. It’s just Melb’n. JSON I pronounce with a more noticeable O. I do not say “Jay Ess Oh Enn”, or JavaScript Object Notation. It’s just Jason with a harder O
