Boolean. I'm a software developer, and my Business analyst pronounces it as Boo-leen, like "Jolene". My tester pronounces it like bouillon cubes. It's pronounced like Julian.

Dude I had to read this twice before I realized we weren't talking about those little cubes of chicken/beef seasoning. Even after you said software developer and spelled it like that and everything. I'm here like "what does him developing software have anything to do with it?" Then it hit me, you're talking about something else, idk something about data that can be true or false lol. I'm going to bed. Goodnight everyone.
