How do you pronounce "dir"?

It's one of these things you read here constantly but I had no idea how to say it to another person: the short version of directory.

Normally you'd have to spell it "dire" I guess but why don't you just write dire then

I'm no native speaker, could someone please shed some light on that for me?

 

Well, if I'm saying it out loud then I'll just say "Directory"

But in my head I always pronounce 'dir' like 'derr' (like in 'dirty')

 

Just say it "dur", not dire (d-ahyre)

 

I say it like "derr"(or "dur"). I don't think many people pronounce it like "dire".

 

I say it like "dur". I actually feel a little foolish sitting here going dir, derr, dur...

 

if i refer to dos command i will say "der" or "d-i-r", but if i mention the directory i will say "directory".

 

i usually would pronounce them seperately "d" "i" "r"

 

I pronounce it "derr" just like most people.

 

Well when you go for writing then we all mostly do it by "dir"
And as far as pronounce dir goes than i think i use directory only

 

Same here! I guess this is how it should be pronounced else I just say 'Directory'
