How is it pronounced?

Is it Zah-pee-err, as in, more zappy?

Or is it Zah-pee-eh, like it's a fancy french service?

Or is it Zah-peer, like a fancy Frenchman pronouncing "the peer"?

We like to call ourselves "zap-ee-er" but I'll accept any pronunciation since that means you're talking about us!

Fun side note. We integrate with a lot of European and Australian companies. Most of the time on intro calls they default to the more "French" sounded version ”zap-ee-air” whereas most of the US companies seem to default to a more "English" pronunciation "zay-pee-er".

As a brit, my first reading was "zay-pee-er", like how "rapier" missile is pronounced.
