How is there even confusion over how to say boolean
[QUOTE=Soda;26195675]as if that effects what it is and where it came from?
but uhhh character doesn't have the word car anywhere in it it sounds more like care-acter[/QUOTE]
No. It's closer to kar-acter.
Edit: kar-ik-ter

Booleen or boolian?
I pronounced it boolian.
I say Char and Boolian. The same way my Computing teacher said them I guess.
Care. Same pronunciation as in the full word: "Character", but then without the "acter".
My teacher used chchchchchchchar (Dutch g :rolleye:)
It's like prunouncing Chaos in dutch:

(click the play icon next to chaos)
but then without the "os" and with the "r".
Care.
I say car because it's easier than char (as in the first syllable from character)
[QUOTE=ZeekyHBomb;26197867]Char as in charred wood and boolean as in boo-li-an.[/QUOTE]
This
I really, REALLY hate when someone pronounces it "booleen". IF IT WERE FUCKING BOOLEEN IT WOULD BE SPELLED BOOLEEN!
Care.
You don't. You say character.
It's like the age old debate - scone. Is it sc-own or sc-on? I pronounce it the former way. I also pronounce char as in charred wood.
Tsjar.

[QUOTE=r4nk_;26197962]Saying car makes you sound like an idiot, so just watch out[/QUOTE]
I don't think it does, it's closer to the original word than char(red)

Did you know some words aren't pronounced the way they're spelled?
[QUOTE=FPtje;26201021]Care. Same pronunciation as in the full word: "Character", but then without the "acter".[/QUOTE]
Exactly. The "car" and "char" pronunciations don't make any sense at all.
I say char like char broiled.

So how do you pronounce "mean"? me-an?
"Tjar"
[QUOTE=RyanDv3;26206707]So how do you pronounce "mean"? me-an?[/QUOTE]
Perhaps my point was wrong, but boolean is DEFINITELY bool-e-an.
care
"chär"
It's definitely "car", it doesn't make sense to say "char". It's a completely unrelated pronunciation to the word it's abbreviated from.
Also "booleen" everyone around here says "booleen", that I've met.

Soooooooo....What now
-snip-
nvm boolean apparently is pronounced boo-li-an because it's named after Boole, similar to appending "-ian/-an" to denote something being derived from a subject(ex: elizibethan era art). no way related to the world lean(thinking leaning as a binary operation, lean one direction or the other, true/false)
i get it.
[QUOTE=Soda;26216672]uh how do brits say "lean" j/w
I have never heard anyone say lean as "li-an" it is not two syllables and therefore there should be no confusion as how to say boolean...
boo-leen is how boolean should be pronounced w/ an American accent.[/QUOTE]
Boolean.
Boo-le-an.
Boo-lee-ann.
Phonetics are a funny thing.
You're also implying that the phonetics of the English language actually follow a consistent pattern when they really don't for the most part.
Boo-lean
Boo-leen
Do you pronounce lean leen or lee-ann?
