I've always pronounced it Ass-key
That's the only way I've ever heard it pronounced in actual speech. Of course, the only times I have heard people talking about it IRL is in CS classes and the like. I don't know many tech nerds IRL to have conversations about computer standards with.
Count me amongst the Ass-keyers.

They give you trouble, you call me, captchisce? 🤌
capped-key-shay?
I was trying to combine Captcha with Capisce (pronounced capeesh, like an italian mobster) as a joke, but I'm not sure it landed 😅
Ah, I get it now. :)
There seems to be a rendering error in three places here.␄
