A few years later, perhaps with the welcome progress of more female faculty and students, textbooks changed the spelling, but not the pronunciation of the vulgar acronym 'fu' to 'foo'. I was always told that fu became foo because it lined up nicely on screens and on paper, making the code easier to scan. foo = 1 bar = 2 looks better than fu = 1 bar = 2
