In the Scheme programming language community, there's a convention of naming implementations using variations on the term "scheme".
So "Plot" is the ultimate name for a Scheme charting library.

- fuzztester 2y agocool. didn't know that. in that case, I bet there is some implementation called scam, because a French person might pronounce scheme as scam, like femme is pronounced in the famous phrase "cherchez la femme". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherchez_la_femme https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherchez_la_femme
- dvqc 2y agoHaving an "e" pronounced "a" in french is very rare, I would also intuitively only expect it to happen when the "e" is followed by two consonants. A french person would likely mispronounce scheme either as "shem" or "skem", based on their familiarity with english. We have "Schéma" for "schematics", and we pronounce it "shem-a"
- fuzztester 2y agoOkay, thanks.
