standard pronunciation of DESede?

843811Apr 19 2007 — edited Apr 23 2007
hi,

how do most crypto types pronounce, "DESede"? i am relatively new to crytography and so i have only ever read about this particular type of cipher; i have never actually heard anybody speaking about it out loud.

i am leaning toward, "triple dee - ee - ess" as my personal preference. but that's a mouthful at 5 whole syllables!

"dee - ee - ess - ee -dee - ee" is even more long-winded with 6 syllables!

if i pronouced it, "deh - seed" (only 2 syllables) in a job interview, would i be seen as a charlatan?
