I'm going with sigh-non: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinon

For future inquiries about pronunciation (and other non-issues) I'm sure the people on the mailing list will be happy to help ;) groups.google.com/group/sinonjs

NP. Thanks.

I have a problem with this resolution:

"So, you're testing sign-on code with sinon. Did you find any problems with (signon/sinon) in the process?"

Until we have a better namespacing / cross-compiling solution, I'm going with "sih-non"

[cjohansen]

Haha, OK :)

I'm sure developers everywhere are still debating this. I just looked up the wikipedia entry and cross-referenced with Google translate (https://translate.google.com/#auto/es/%CE%A3%CE%AF%CE%BD%CF%89%CE%BD) and it sounds like "sea-naan".

But if Christian is pronouncing it "sigh-non", who am I to argue :)

I rarely pronounce it in English. In Norwegian I pronounce it as "sea-non". But who am I to be decide how it's pronounced?

It's actually pronounced Shinon. Shi sound from shin.

In regular English language, it's pronounced, (Sea-non), but if you were to say her name in the proper way with the Japanese language, The "S" Becomes a soft "Sh" So it would be pronounced (She-non), hope this helped. c:

@MelindaYin and @SinonIsQueen: you are referring to another Sinon. This has nothing to do with sword art :-) Sinon produces spies and stubs (which are things pretending to be something else). Sinon is named after the Greek warrior that pretended to be a deserter and lured the Trojans into taking the horse containing the Greek soldiers into their city. Makes sense?
