You could always pronounce it as /see-oh-kju/.
- tombert 6y agoSure, I could do that, but a lot of the lectures online pronounce it like "cock", at least when the lecture is from an American or a British person. It it immature to worry about that? Sure, people probably should grow up at some level, but the fact is that I don't really have a magic wand to automatically change the maturity level of every engineer I might ever work with, and those engineers can as a result use it to make people feel unwelcome in tech.
- afiori 6y ago> a lot of the lectures online pronounce it like "cock" Wow, I discover now that it is supposed to be pronounced more like coke
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoAt that point, we’re already changing the name, so why not go all the way?
- forgotpwd16 6y agoNot really. Basically not at all. In bibliography I bet few, if any, times Coq's pronunciation is mentioned. The only thing changing will be in presentations and conversations where the name is a problem.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoThe vast majority of my communication is verbal, and that includes technical communication. "Only" isn't really "only."
- forgotpwd16 6y agoNot sure what's the problem then as, based on that, changing just the pronunciation should be fine.
