How do you say CCleaner?

[signal]

"spyware" 😏 👿

 

[Tunesmith]

Uninstall and don't use that crap on modern Windows.

 

[Shopolic]

It was always C C Cleaner for me until now! :D

 

[Fiction]

Guys I'm having a Mandela Effect moment and I'm freaking out why did I think it was c c cleaner?

 

[Camwi]

I just say Crap Cleaner but I think I've said it out loud maybe once in my life.

Same.

 

[Glenn]

This is blowing my mind. Why the hell do we say C C Cleaner ?

 

[Santerestil]

Cleaner with a double c.

 

[beelulzebub]

This is one of those thread titles that made me roll my eyes until I saw the poll results. I apologize OP, you were clearly onto something.

Why would anyone add an extra C? Why are the results so close?

 

[kiguel182]

I always say C-C Cleaner for some reason.

Kinda weird now that you pose that question.

 

[rickyson33]

huh? why would anyone randomly make up an extra c and add it to the pronunciation?

 

[Rangerx]

Yeah I say C C Cleaner. For the life of me I don't know why.

well I wouldn't go as far as to call it spyware but it definitely went to shit after avast bought them

 

[dreams]

For the longest time, I definitely said it C C Cleaner. I had to train myself away from that habit. But damn the way it's written tricks my brain.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Huh. And now I know I've been calling it C-C-Cleaner for years for no good reason.

Thanks OP!

 

[Vampirolol]

C-C Cleaner and this thread just ruined my life.

 

[Deleted member 4262]

Who still uses this crap? Anyways I'm guilty of saying CC Cleaner.

 

[Soph]

I'm old school so it is crap cleaner, odd omission to your poll

 

[CandySTX]

I somehow lost the extra C. Ended up thinking of it as it cee-leaner. :/

 

[Ragnar]

Always C Cleaner, but my dad and sister both called it C-C Cleaner. So that's 2:1 for the triple C.

 

[GKSilKamina]

C Cleaner or "Crap Cleaner" if I want to feel like a dinosaur.

Where the hell are all of you getting that extra C from?

 

[Good4Squat]

C-C Cleaner. It's wrong, but it just sounds better in my head.

 

[Keikaku]

CC Cleaner. Does someone still use this? Last time I used it was with Windows XP.

 

[Vex]

Holy shit op. you got me.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

C Cleaner or "Crap Cleaner" if I want to feel like a dinosaur.

Where the hell are all of you getting that extra C from?

I never saw it as "CC Cleaner" myself, but it's easy to see how someone might make the mistake at first/in passing. They're not seeing an extra, third C, but rather reading the second C twice, once as a part of two capital C's, "CC", then again as part of "Cleaner". It's a simple mistake to make, as your eyes are more immediately drawn to the pair of capital letters, and then the rest of the word, but I don't see how people can regularly repeat the mistake.

 

[Arex]

CC Cleaner lol. Idk why maybe because the logo is always near the name x:

 

[Deleted member 35204]

c-c cleaner, don't ask me why because i don't know

 

[Doc Laserstein]

C-Compromised.

 

[MrCibb]

C Cleaner. People say CC cleaner? I had no idea people say it with a CC, now I see it's quite a lot of people. Huh, that's super interesting. I'm sure there's some kind of reason for it then. Does the human eye or mind subconsciously add in an extra C for some people due to the repetition? Or was an old logo misleading. Must be something. Is interesting though.

 

[kimbaka]

I've never actually said it out loud but CC Cleaner sounds better to me for some reason.

 

[darz1]

Ive never heard of it but i just read it is "cuh-cleaner" and i read c-c cleaner as "cuh-cuh-cleaner"

 

[Hey Please]

They same way you say c..c..combo breaker!

PS: seriously though, I chose the second option because FML I never realized before that it only one C before it's name.

 

[Engell]

it's Crap Cleaner, because that was the name of it when they started and its still the same product

 

[mnemonicj]

I pronounce it as "ccleaner is shit software that nobody needs".

 

[Tunesmith]

Take some advise from security knowledgeable Taylor Swift

 

[Zelas]

Never looked closely at the name until it C C Cleaner was already ingrained.

 

[Tygre]

The real question is Cuh-Cleaner vs See-Cleaner

Cuh-cuh-cuh-cleaner​

Turn and face the strange​

Cuh-cuh-cleaner
Don't want to be a richer man​

 

[rashbeep]

I just got the name lol

 

[Figgles]

I'm going to assume cc cleaner people are jif people. Those people are wrong.

 

[Gundam]

Cuccleener

 

[Soda]

Always C C Cleaner, but I never stopped to realize there were only two C's. Might swap to C Cleaner now.

How else will I manage my registry, startup/ installed apps, clear my cache, temp files, memory dumps, and recycling bin?!?

Also I would have added Cuh-Cuh Cleaner and Sea Leaner if I knew it was a thing!
