I've never known how to pronounce "JNCO". Is it an acronym or an initialism?
J-N-C-O? Joonko? Janko? Jinso?
I always heard it pronounced as "Jean Co."
…WHAT.
I’ve always pronounced it, and heard it pronounced by every single person ever— “JINKO.” Like, pronouncing it exactly the way it’s written. J’n-KŌ
Were you all alive in the 90s? I mean, like, old enough to be around the age this person in the post was? Or is “JEAN-co” the modern way the kids are saying it?
Well, I was in middle school in the late 90s when these were popular, so I suppose I'm in the demographic. I dunno, the difference between "jean" and "gin" is somewhat subtle when you say it quickly, and I never gave it much thought.
