I’ve always pronounced it “rejex,” but “reg-ex” is more popular according to Fireship’s fans on Twitter:

I didn’t realise there were multiple pronunciations lol, reg-ex makes sens to me since it stands for regular expression; reg like in regular and ex like in expression.

Looked this up on Google, and it is pronounced as “reh-geks”. Though it seems more natural to pronounce it as “Rejex” IMO.

Reg-ex is harder to say (at least for me).

Same here.

I think the reason most people who prefer rejex prefer it is that it takes less time to say.

however it sounds like rejects instead of regular expression or regex.
