FYI: it is not “ForgeJo”

Forgejo is derived from Esperanto where the “ejo” suffix means “place”. The J is pronounced like y is in English.

It’s “forge-ejo” not “forge-joe”

No, it's pronounced ForJayHo.

That's how I pronounce it in my head. Spanish J is pronounced with an H sound, and Spanish isn't a fake language like Esperanto.

I live in the smack middle of the South in USA, so my brain automatically says “forge Joe” with the space and everything haha. But I get ya, thank you for explaining!
