techrecoverySo what is up with microsoft changing the pronunciation of words? Or is this just a regional thing?
How do you pronounce it? Is it VIH-stuh with a long I, as is the proper pronunciation of the word -- or do you say "VEE-sta" with a short I sound?
See, agents in this center I work in use VEEsta. I don't understand why. That's not how to pronounce the word. To wit: See the Dictionary definition.
Vista. Bollocks to that. I won't use it any time soon. But this? This is a pet peeve.
Why yes, I can occasionally be petty and small. Why do you ask?
