I would say car, but usually I would just say "character".
I pronounce it: care

Char as in Character, what the fuck is it with all of you saying char as in charred? That's weird...
Yeah, I said Char as in 'Care'
I pronounce "char" like "[URL="http://images.wikia.com/animalcrossing/images/9/91/Char2.jpg"]char[/URL]"

You don't pronounce character charr - akter do you? Its carr - akter. CAR GODDAMIT!

The first time I heard "char" was in my computer science class. My teacher said it was char as in "charcoal." I've been unable to change to "car" since.

Can't say that much about a programming forum, though, right?
the difference between 'char' and 'car' is like 'coupon' and '[queue]-pon' or 'coyote' being kai-oh-tee or kai-ote people pronounce it both ways and nobody really gives a shit about it unless you're some loser autist [editline]12th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Janek566;35532656]wow that just shows what environment you work in.
