Does anyone here really pronounce cin as "C-in" or does everyone just say it like "sin". Same with cout. I'm just curious
I tend to pronounce things as they are spelled :D
So yeah, "sin" and "cout"!
i say "sin" but i say cout with a hard c, like "kout", i just thought "sout" sounded stupid. I've been trying to make myself say "c in" "c out" but they just aren't as fun!
actually i don't think i've ever actually spoken either, but that's how i think them.
I hardly pronounce them, but when I do it's like "see-in" and "see-out". The "see" is pronounced in Swedish, not English.
I never actually say the word cin but when i think of it i use
Console-In.
i'm only a newbie but i thought cin and cout stood for "Character input" and "Character output"?
the c = console
I say it as "C-in" and "C-out".
well-Quote:

cin = console in cout = console out
Is # as in #include pronounced number, pound or sharp?
In #include, the # is silent.
well, i say "pound define", but i leave it off of include...
about the cin, cout thing, i go with the see-in see-out group
>In #include, the # is silent.
Good thing too, it's hard to get the nuances right when saying #.
I say pound include/define/ifdef/undef/etc. just easier...
and c-out/c-in...
actually, i don't say any of them unless i'm helping somebody... that's why I started saying 'pound' include... because I used to help people in elementary programming classes...
it's c-in and c-out, and print-ef.
Oh, and hwnd is pronounced just like it looks ;)
How did this thing get bumped up?
BTW: I might be starting a flame war, but NO ONE says the pound.
What about `glibc', how is it pronounced?
I'm just curious about it.
Please don't fake me for bumping this up. :D
I pronounce it gee lib see.
btw, this is an interesting thread for me because I'm a self taught programmer, I've never heard someone pronouncing those words, I always read them (books internet etc) so learning how people usually pronounce them is quite interesting!
I always pronounce GNU Gee En New whereas it is supposed to be Guhnew. etc
any ideas how GNOME is supposed to be pronounced then :confused:
That one's easy. The 'g' is silent, just like the regular word 'gnome.' Thus, nome.Quote:

It 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.

Wind-Class-Ex - meaning: Extended Window ClassQuote:

From the GNOME FAQ :
"GNOME is officially pronounced "guh-NOME""
Here's a good one that many people get wrong...
How does Donald Knuth pronounce his name?
Ka-NOOTH

I stand corrected.Quote:
Q: GNOME: "nome" or "guh-nome"?
A: In English, the word "gnome" is pronounced with a silent "g". However, GNOME itself is generally pronounced as "guh-nome", just as GNU is pronounced "guh-noo" when referring to the GNU Project.
I pronounce it as "sin"
I say see-in and see-out. I think it's more indicative of what you actually mean. Plus, the pronunciation of the first consonant should stay the same because that is what stays constant. Ie, console-in, console-out. Therefore, you should either say: see-in/see-out, sin/sout, or kin/kout. I prefer the first because it separates the pronunciation of the two parts of the word.
As for include and define, etc, I don't say the pound, because you never have include and define without the pound, so there's no point saying it. Then again, it would probably result in people thinking they didn't need the pound, which would have disastrous consequences.:p
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".
Hmm, with cin I say "sin", but with cout it's "c-out" :p
Win-Dee-Class-Sex of course! j/k, j/k :DQuote:
How about WNDCLASSEX :P
I say "Hash Include studduh eye oh dot h"Quote:

for #include <stdio.h>
You forgot "octathorp" which is what I think of when I see the symbol :)Quote:

You forgot the e on the end of octothorpe.Quote:

Yes, I used dictionary.com to learn what the word meant, and the spelling.
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...Quote:

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 me ;)Quote:

//edit: i know these aren't exactly abbreviations, but yeah...
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.
