Here’s another to add to the pronunciation wars. RetroArch is pronounced RetroArk. Which I will die on that hill because Arch stands for either Architecture or Archive. Too many times have I heard people on YouTube make it sound like McDonald’s golden arches.

The devs pronounce it like “arch.”
Proof or it didn’t happen

First comment, by a Retroarch dev.
Out of interest, how do you pronounce “sudo” (the command) and “lib” (the directory)?
The devs have stated otherwise. The project was originally announced on an Arch Linux forum, so they included a nod in the name.
I use Ark btw
But what does Arch stand for in that context?
Its the nod to Arch Linux as mentioned.
‘Ark Linux’ ?
Arch as in rhyming with march.
Take it from the devs

‘March’ pronounced like ‘Mark’?
Yup that sounds good.
Close enough
