What is the correct English pronunciation of the word poset (Partially Ordered SET)?
paazit or pow-set?
Neither...I would probably transliterate it as "poh-set". You definitely want to pronounce "set" as it's own syllable.
"Poh" rhymes with though, row, snow, toe, etc.
PO-set.
"PO" rhymes with "snow".
At least in my neck of the woods...
Poset rhymes with LOW-SET or ROW-SET. Similarly for woset (well-ordered set). Watch this YouTube video where Doctor Bob says POSET around 7:50.
