Here’s another to add to the pronunciation wars. RetroArch is pronounced RetroArk. Which I will die on that hill because Arch stands for either Architecture or Archive. Too many times have I heard people on YouTube make it sound like McDonald’s golden arches.

The devs have stated otherwise. The project was originally announced on an Arch Linux forum, so they included a nod in the name.
I use Ark btw
But what does Arch stand for in that context?
Its the nod to Arch Linux as mentioned.
The devs pronounce it like “arch.”
Proof or it didn’t happen
