[QUOTE=HumbleTH;46728069]I tend to pronounce stdio like you, stuhdio.
And for some reason, I also tend to pronounce : as 'slash' in my head..[/QUOTE]
ess-tee-dee-eye-oh
iostream eye oh stream
For me, I say stdio like studio and char like car or care (like char-acter).
char - tscharr
C++ - See plas plas
SCSI - scusi
SATA - sada
interpreter - inder peter
stdio - estede i o
WYSIWYG - wiswig
integer - inteacher
For some unknown reason I used to pronounce stuff like '$something' as ess( like the letter 's' )something. I have no idea why.
The really important thing is that you pronounce things which actually have a well-defined pronunciation properly. You can say "char" as in charizard, and people won't care, but be careful when working with maths, or words that have been borrowed from other areas.
For example, although this isn't strictly just programming, "euler" is pronounced like "boiler" (without the b), and euler integration is a basic foundation to many game/physics engines. Also, "paradigm" is pronounced "pah-rah-dime", like, as in the first half of "paradise" and then "dime" as in "a dime a dozen".
If you end up saying "you-ler" or "pah-rah-dig-im", you'll get a lot of funny looks!
This one reminds me of Pirates every time I read it EventArgs or "Event Arrrrrrrrgs"

See, I would never get that wrong.

It will be burned in my brain forever.
Not really programming, but recently some coworkers and I started trying to butcher as many words as we could on purpose. Some recent ones off the top of my head:
NASA - (Nay-sah)
Multimeter - (Pronounced like delimiter)
Oscilloscope - (Oscillometer)
oh I'm glad I'm not the only one who says 'mole-tuh-mitt-er'
PULONGLONG is my favourite typedef because saying it out loud provides literally hours of fun. ("poo-long-long")
Similar deal with the __uuidof() operator. ("oo-ee-dov")
[QUOTE=Sidneys1;46739552]Here's all the words so far, as well as my pronunciations:
stdio - 'studio'
GNU - 'guh-new' or 'nyew' (subtly different than new which is more 'noo')
WYSIWYG - 'wizzy-whig'
GUI - used to say G-U-I, was told it was wrong, now say 'gooey' but it sounds retarded
AJAX - 'ay-jacks'
QT - 'cutie'
SQL - 'sequel'
XML - X-M-L
XAML - 'zaml' (like camel)
char - 'char' as in charcoal
I'll also add some file extensions I don't spell out:
.txt - 'dot-text'
.ppt(x) - 'dot-powerpoint' (haha)
.7z - 'dot-seven-zip'[/QUOTE]
Pretty much this except I don't say 'dot' with filenames and GNU is 'new'.
Because of the common arguments in WAYWO threads, I pronounce it "no-way-yo".
WYSIWYG - I give up half way and just say "wizgarblbahgbnnh".
I mean, I know how to say them but sometimes I just don't care... even in my own head. Unless I'm speaking with another developer, then I take the time to pronounce them proper.
A guy at work pronounce URL as "UHHRRL"
gets me everytime
[QUOTE=Exho;46736631]G-U-I, gooey sounds retarded[/QUOTE]
I used to hear that years ago but most people just use UI (spoken you-eye) now.
[QUOTE=FunnyBunny;46916558]Multimeter - (Pronounced like delimiter)[/QUOTE]
I find this strange as it is a 'multi-meter', like it's a compound word.
somebody in the computer science club I used to be in pronounced "cout" and "cin" exactly as they're spelt
SQL - SQL (As spelled)
GUI - Goo-i
; - Terminator
[QUOTE=Octopod;46929825]somebody in the computer science club I used to be in pronounced "cout" and "cin" exactly as they're spelt[/QUOTE]
I actually do that too, but only in my head. Out loud I say "c-out" and "c-in".
fuccboiGDX - fuckboy GEE DEE EX
[editline]14th January 2015[/editline]
Oh, I'm late. I'm fine with that.
I find it much easier to say out loud the full meanings of acronyms, i.e. Graphical User Interface instead of gee-youuu-I or goo-i.
Also, whatchaseeiswhatchaget. Good as long as you don't need to use it multiple times in a sentence (usually the case).
fuccboigdx though...
I keep reading cout as cunt, bloody couts.

I can't remember where but I heard some guy say ptr like pooter. Not only is that absolutely fucking ridiculous but it's not even a contraction. Just say pointer like for fuck sake. Sort your life out.
So LaTeX is apparently pronounced lah-tek but the rubber material is pronounced lay-tex and they are too different for me so I compromise and say lay-tek. The developers have said that it doesn't really matter though.
If you don't understand what the word means then you should try to go deeper and find out what it stands for, since any word that isn't immediately understood is usually a shortened word or phrase. Good examples of this(from c++) are cout, cin, and std. When I was first learning I said cout and cin as one word, like "koot", "sin", or just "s. t. d.". After going to college and hearing my professor say the whole phrase instead of the shortened version, I realized that they were actually pronounced "'c' out", "'c' in" and "standard". Also, "char" should be pronounced with a hard "k", since it's short for "character". Not really gonna be a grammar nazi about it, since that's the compiler's job, but it just makes more sense to me that way.
