see also --> pronunciation of "sudo"
- silentbicycle 17y ago"soo-doo" vs. "pseudo"? Other ones that come to mind: * char (like "char-broiled"? like "care"?) * /proc ("prock"?) * SQL ("see-quel" or "S Q L") * zsh - I guess that could be "zee shell" or "zed shell"
- randallsquared 17y agoI pronounce char like car. Now that I think about it, that seems weird.
- gb 17y agoI think "car" makes more sense as that's how character is pronounced. I say it that way in my head, but switch to "char"-as-in-burn when speaking aloud as most people don't know what I mean.
- jrockway 17y ago"care" is the most logical pronunciation (as that's how you pronounce the first syllable of "character"), but I've never heard anyone say that. "char" (as in burning to a crisp) is the second-most logical, and is what I say. I think I actually avoid the word in practice; "cstring" instead of "char star", etc.
- silentbicycle 17y agoI say "care", but I also taught myself C from library books when I was a kid. It was a while before I talked with anyone about C data types, of all things.
