What about "Id Software"? I think it's pronounced id as in:
"id - the one of the three divisions of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory that is completely unconscious and is the source of psychic energy derived from instinctual needs and drives"
- Merriam Webster.
But I always say ID (Identification), I think it sounds better.
Also there is GUI, I say the letters, but some people say "gooey".
Thor's self help tip:
Maybe a neighbor is tossing leaf clippings on your lawn, looking at your woman, or harboring desires regarding your longboat. You enslave his children, set his house on fire. He shall not bother you again.

Hmm, with cin I say "sin", but with cout it's "c-out"

How did this thing get bumped up?
BTW: I might be starting a flame war, but NO ONE says the pound.

Yes, I used dictionary.com to learn what the word meant, and the spelling.
Away.
damn you, yea I did. Was in a hurry
Oh here is a good one:
How do you pronounce:
SafeArrayDestroyDescriptor()?
Man, talk about cryptic!
i say the pound...Originally posted by Stan100
BTW: I might be starting a flame war, but NO ONE says the pound.what about SETI or NAACP or W3C? they were made because it takes too long to write/say the full words... for lazy people like meIt doesn't even make sense to pronounce them literally, as they are spelled. They are meant to abreviations made up of letters from words that describe them or what they repersent.
char - a character, not a way of cooking meat
cin - character input, not something you go to confession for.
cout - character output, anything else is weird
They are abstractions, not literal words.

I have learned NOT to talk programming commands with other people. Half the time I end up screwing up the pronunciation. Like one time I said synapse instead of syntax and looked like a total idiot. I will stick to typing commands.
