"Oh by the way - Qt is pronouced as "cute", not "que-tee". If you read the above as que-tee, you need to go back and read it all again."

- polpo 9y agoOver the many years and several companies I worked with Qt, nobody could bring themselves to call it "cute." Everyone called it "que-tee."
- to3m 9y agoYes. If they want people to call it "Cute"... why not spell it like that? I don't care how it's capitalized - if you stick two letters together in an unpronouncable fashion, people will say it as if it's just those two letters, one after the other. I can only assume this has something to do with its being written by non-native English speakers.
- EpicEng 9y agoYeah, it's "que-tee" because that's how everyone pronounces it. I can't imagine ever calling it "cute".
- joezydeco 9y agoI've always called it "que-tee" until the Nokia sales reps came along and insisted it was "cute". The toolkit was called Qt because the letter Q looked appealing in Haavard's Emacs typeface, and "t" was inspired by Xt, the X toolkit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(software) So was Xt called "exit"?
- Andoryuuta 9y agoJust like how "GIF" is supposed to be pronounced "JIF" according to its creator. Hahaha
