Mine is "car" and "CarDriveR" (implying first comes the car, then its driver). "CorriDoR" is another one which implies the extra length a bit better.

- RBerenguel 13y agoI just hard-wired into my brain they are car and cdr (I read it as "cadar," with both a's quite like the a in car, Spanish a for me.) In a cons list, you have the car (first) and then the cadar. Think it enough times and it sinks eventually.
- philwelch 13y agoBut "cadar" is also a thing: it's the car of the cdr of the car.
- RBerenguel 13y agoI know, I'm no lisp beginner, but the pronunciation of cdr is almost like "cadar". I just "Spanishised" it.
- MichaelGG 13y agoWhat's wrong with an ordinal sort? car sorts before cdr.
- petercooper 13y agoGood point!
