How do you pronounce 'char'?

[Zally13]

[QUOTE=st0rmforce;26367857]That is one of the saddest things I've heard all week.
Every programmer should have somebody to talk to, even if it's against their will.[/QUOTE]
I don't have anybody to really discuss programming with, the few relatives I knew who programmed moved to Maryland. My friend knows a bit about it, though it always ends in an argument so I tend to avoid that. Besides that, no one I know really programs.

[QUOTE=sam6420;26363024]I don't pronounce it. I have nobody to say it to. :([/QUOTE]

I have the same. Literally [b]nobody[/b] I know in real life is into programming. Not in the slightest.

Ent and int should have very distinct sounds unless you're from the southern United States.

Can you tell the difference between pen and pin? You should be able to.

[Orki]

The word Char i say Char
but when i say the word character i say caracter(simillar atleast)

I can tell the difference between pen and pin, but I guess I sometimes pronounce "went" more like "wint". I am in Southern California, but it usually isn't what is referred to as the Southern US.

Perhaps a better example would be the "int" in "lint".

[Wyzard]

I pronounce it like the first syllable of the word "character", because that's what it is. Not like burnt wood, nor like an automobile, nor like a Care Bear.

They're pronounced differently?
I was under the impression they were both pronounced the same.

[Wyzard]

Not where I live. "Care" rhymes with "air"; "character" begins with the same sound as "carrot". "Carrot" is [i]not[/i] pronounced "airot".

[quote=http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Rhymes_talk:English:-%C3%A6r%C9%99t]Some American accents have a general merger of IPA: /ɛr/ and IPA: /ær/, and some (not just American) accents have a merger of unstressed IPA: /ɪ/ and IPA: /ə/. Where these two overlap, "ferret" and "carrot" rhyme.[/quote]

It's a phonemic merger.

[QUOTE=dj0wns;26598377]who the fuck says CAR-ut[/QUOTE]

People whose accent hasn't merged /ɛr/ and /ær/.

[Jallen]

Char as in charmander,
Boolean as in boo-lee-an,
Int as in mint
