This thread makes me think of a youtube video my grandson who was about 14
at the time showed me.  He thought it was hilarious, probably because of the
profanity, and also how it points out the inconsistency of English
pronunciation.

So here is the language warning, some viewers and Letters of the Alphabet

"offended" No; it was far too childish and ill-informed to offend me.

I very rarely say either, but I'm pretty sure I treat them as sound
abbreviations, and pronounce them like the first syllables of the words
they represent, i.e. "care" and "loke"

I am also with Matthias on this.
As for saying them out loud, very rarely, but I do subvocalise them.
As for Dr. I say doctor. I guess it just comes down to what we each find more 
convenient.
As for “field”. Aurgh! I just wish I wouldn’t type “filed” so many times.

I say them as you do, because they are the first part of words that have 
a known pronounciation. Saying "lock" instead of "loke" is particularly 
confusing because "lock" is a keyword with an entirely different meaning.


For those who say "lock" instead of "loke", how do you say "lockLoc"? 
"Locklock"?

I tend to name variables in Scots or Bulgarian, mainly because calling a 
field "field" (whichever way you pronounce it)
throws a "bluey" with LiveCode (and I have no way of knowing LiveCode's 
internal pronunciation of these terms).

The latter choice in both cases.

When I was studying Linguistics at SIU Carbondale we had a Professor 
(Kyle Perkins)

who pronounced "larynx" as "larnix".

AND, needless to say, when I program I subvocalise everything as I go along.

Do you pronounce FIELD
   Rhimes with "filled"
   Rhimes with "feeled"

Do you spell "rhyme" with a "y" or an "i" ?

CHAR  rhymes with far
LOC rhymes with lock.

This is at least how i pronounce them. But i am native German and not native 
English.

Btw.: due to the fact that LC language is english like,  you should see my 
comments  and variable names in my scripts.
They are mixed, some comments are in english some in german, even in one and 
the same script. It could be that i use tDate in one script and in another  one 
tDatum as date var.
But that´s an other story.

Regards,

Matthias

[OT]Silly weekend LC poll

I wonder how people pronounce two common LC abbreviations. In print you 
never notice but in real life I always have to translate what they're 
talking about.


How do you pronounce:

CHAR
  Rhymes with "care"
  Sounds like smoldering wood

LOC
  Rhymes with "smoke"
  Sounds like a deadbolt

I suppose there are others.
