Annoying thing with QT, the official pronunciation sounds like ’cute’, and some interviewers insist on calling it that.

  I know a former Qt dev who pronounced it 'cute', so I think it's a bit of a Gif vs Gif type situation.

  Lots of people in the company call it 'Q' 'T' and lots call it 'Cute' and there is no "official" way it is called.

    See Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(software) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(software), it says pronunciation is 'cute'.

  Officially / Corporately: Cute https://youtu.be/MakX3OSsDUQ?t=54s https://youtu.be/MakX3OSsDUQ?t=54s I have never heard any company ever call it Q.T. Community: Q.T and I rarely hear it called cute. I usually call it Q.T. even though I know it is cute.

  I recently attended a talk by one of the Qt developers, and he briefly mentioned that 'cute' is not an intentional cute name, instead it just comes from the way the letters in 'Qt' are said in norwegian language. As simple as that. Him not being norwegian, I cannot know if that is correct or just something that is said in their office in Oslo...
