Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I’m probably still doing it with some word.

      Wait but…but that means I’m supposed to pronounce it like the sound of slamming metal doors? but it’s for the C language!

      am I seriously getting gif’d again?

        Why is it pronounced gif when it should be pronounced jif? It’s so much clearer when you say jif! AND YES, I DO SAY GIRAFFICS! AAHHH!!

      There is probably lots of stuff like that in coding. Href could be “huref, and it took me a while to realize that it was ‘em’ and not just ‘m’ after hearing it.

        Wait until you hear stuhd, that’s how we agreed to pronounce std because “ess tee dee” would have been awkward.

          I like pronouncing numpy so that it rhymes with lumpy just to make people uncomfortable.

          Lol at my job someone referred to “E T C” and I was completely baffled until he actually typed it out, /etc… I just call it “ets” because it’s short for “et cetera”…
