Me too, but some pronounce it just like "closure". Hey Rich, can you confirm what is official according to you? Should the "j" be pronounced like a "j" or like an "s"? Did you pick the name based on starting with the word "closure" and replacing the "s" with "j" for Java? It seems pretty likely, but it would be nice to have that confirmed. -- R.
