Why "Ass"?

Just curious.  Why "Asspire Game Jam" (instead of "Aspire Game Jam")?  It's a little embarrassing to put on the resumé.

Host

IDK. I thought spelling it as "Aspire" wouldn't clearly show how you're supposed to pronounce it.

So you're actually supposed to pronounce it "ass-pire"?  I'm confused.  "Aspire" is a real word which would seem to fit here.

Host

Yes, it is pronounced "ass-pire". The word is a play on Aspire.
