I didn't think your post was meant literally, although I can see how it came across that way.

Another good related question is "how do you pronounce "!"...

Some circles pronounce it "pling", then there's "bang" or "not"... ;)

No one else says "put-ate-er"?

The guy is Canadian. He says the word "array" like "a-ray" and not "air-ray". That's how Canadians speak, eh? :)

Wait till he talks about a long putter to the aboot dialog box eh...

std::shared_ptr "stid shared putter"

Can you elaborate on why you pronounce that as "stid shared putter" when clearly the expanded name, according to its own documentation, is "standard shared pointer"?


I almost never write "National Aeronautics and Space Administration" in place of "NASA," either.

"STD", in this context, is an abbreviation, but is neither an acronym or initialism. It should be pronounced "standard". Now, if we were talking about sexually transmitted diseases, then it would be an initialism and should be pronounced S-T-D.

... Non-Canadians don't say "a-ray?"

Maybe not, but "puter" and "stood" sound ignorant.

I've always said "ah-ray".

Why does this thread keep saying it has new posts? Does voting in the poll actually bump?
