Quirky question time! When you read out a qualified name, eg collections.OrderedDict, do you read the qualifier ("collections dot ordered dict"), or do you elide it ("ordered dict")? I ask because it makes a difference to talking about just one of them:
... or possibly a collections.OrderedDict... ... or possibly an collections.OrderedDict... Written, the latter looks completely wrong; but if the name is read in its short form, with the "collections" part being implicit, then "an" is clearly correct! What do you think, experts and others?
