Whose canon?

Interestingly, I have always assumed the canonical pronunciation of DSSSL was diesel, as JADE stands for JAmes's DSSSL Engine.

I don't see why removing extra S-es should shorten the vowel.

Wht vwl? U mst b Englsh. 2 n Amrcn, DSSSL is "dissel"; all short vowels. DSL is "dee-ess-ell". "Dizzle" is a brbrzm.
