"Cache" is pronounced "cash." Is it ever OK to pronounce it "cash-aye" or are the devs of "The Conduit" idiots?

Caché is pronounced cash-ay, and it means "hidden."

"Cache La Poudre" (pronounced as: "cash la pooder") is the name of a river in N. Colorado, & a tributary of the South Platte River.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_La_Poudre_River
Translates as: "hiding place of the powder", which refers to a French gunpowder storage location, from the 1820's.

It's a French word as everyone knows, and we pronounce is "cash". Not "cash ay" or anything like that. There's no accent on the e.

My friend pronounces it as "catch" (memory.) I tried to correct him multiple times.
I gave up after awhile.

Wow, that would bug me too.

I pronounced 'cache' wrong for a long time since it was a word I learned from the Internet rather than hearing people say it. Never had a problem until I started working with a bunch of other programmers that made fun of the way I said it. I say it right now..

Some other words I used to pronouce wrong due to learning them off the Internet first (when I was small):

warez
chassis
queue

This is what I hear most often and how I used to pronounce it. I've trained myself to pronounce it "cash" though.

 

[SparkyJJO]

I've heard "Cah-chee" too.

I've never heard it pronounced as anything but "cue", I'm interested in hearing the alternative pronunciations?

It's cash. Cashay makes you sound like you're not in the know.

This is partly people just not knowing how to pronounce "cache", with an added helping of mixing it up with "cachet". I've seen people write "cache" when they meant "cachet", this may be related to pronouncing "cache" wrongly.

 

[sactoking]

This is very similar to the Top Chef Las Vegas contestant lady who made ceviche each of the first two episodes and insisted on calling it "se-veech" each time.

 

[FuryofFive]

on a sidenote.. this game sux... very disappointed. expected more, got less

 

[gorcorps]

I've always pronounced it like 'caish' if that makes any sense. I thought the 'a' was pronounced like 'cane' because of the 'e' at the end. You don't say 'cane' like 'can' so why say 'cache' like 'cash'?

 

[jonnyGURU]

Cache (Kash) - Cache is a derivative from the old French word cacher meaning to press to hide, to store, pack together, concealment and safekeeping as valuables.

Cachet (ka-?shA) is also from the Old French word cacher. Cachet means stamp of approval, superior status, a mark of quality, distinction; prestige

The tutorial example: She took a huge amount of ?cash ( money) from the ?cache? (hiding place) and used it to convey a certain ?cachet status or stature.
