I read this word before I ever heard it. It looked like Quintuple to me, so that's how I pronounced it.

- mykeliu 8y agoI've heard "quintuple" both ways so after reading your comment, I still don't know how you specifically pronounce "tuple" :P
- nostrademons 8y agoI've also heard "quintuple" pronounced "quin-TUH-ple" when used as a verb and "quin-TOO-ple" when used as a noun or adjective, so there's a part-of-speech distinction as well...
- wjdp 8y agoBeing mostly self taught I had a few of these. First couple of months working with other developers one would come up every week or so. Luckily not very embarrassing. The new juniors have a few too!
