Regular expressions continually solve and generate problems. Today, I’m wondering about the differences in spelling and pronunciation people see out there.
I’ve seen it spelled “regex” and “regexp”, and I’ve heard it pronounced “redge ecks” and “reg eckps”.
I think the “regex” people say “redge ecks” and the “regexp” people say “reg eckps”, but I’ve never tried to figure out if there’s a connection there. So, let me know. Where do you fall?

I thought this was going to be a regex for picking out regexes for a second!

None of the above: “regex” and “reg ecks” (i.e. rhymes with “Greg Mex”)
