OK here's a random one for you:
How do you pronounce enum when you say it?
Some say "e-noom", others say "en-um".

ee-nyoom, of course... :-)
For some reason that just sounds wrong to me!
Putting aside the fact it's short for enumeration, in itself it should be
pronounced e-num (as in numb) if you ask me.

It's precisely the fact that it is short for ee-nyoo-meh-ray-shun...

Well.. I have a friend called Florence (ok I admit, I don't really).
When she's called Flo for short, it's like "flow", not "flo" as in flock
without the K.
Thus enum is e-numb!
So that's settled then.

Another example of why it should be e-nummmm...
It's "modem" not "modeeeem" (as in modulator, DE-modulator).
If that doesn't convince you, nothing will.

The way I pronounce it, it rhymes with 'venom'. I suppose that's the
latter of the two choices above.
It's sometimes funny to talk with someone when using computing terms to
find that you pronounce them differently. For example, someone the other
day pronounced 'URL' as 'earl' and I had no idea what he was referring to
at first. (I pronounce it 'you are ell'.)

I can't stand the "earl" pronunciation. I say "U - R - L".
Then again, some people say "ess queue ell" and I say "sequel". (SQL)
Some say (datatype char) as "char" (as in charcoal) and others say "care"
and most say "c-sharp" but some guy I interviewed once insisted on
calling it "c-pound". I killed him and buried him in the yard.
I say "e-num" in the same way you would say "number".

Peter, thank you very much for the quick reply... But I guess I am looking
for something more along the lines of something that spits out the DEFAULT
pronunciation as opposed to the SOUNDEX S#### representation of the specific
word. That way in the database specific pronunciations of the same root word
can be easily configured...
FOR EXAMPLE: enum = ee noom / aye nuem etc etc I am just making this up.
Within Microsoft Speech Server, with the Speech SDK within .Net Studio, when
working with the prompts etc, you can find a specific control from Microsoft
that does exactly this. I have also seen this within other peoples
applications, and it appears to be a standard control that could be added to
a webpage / referenced and included. BUT, perhaps I am missing something.....
I think it's there, but I have not found it....
Thanks in advance!!
