🆎If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?
Greem (Graeme. Not Graham!)@bloor "Denice", surely?

The cat who walks thru walls@countablenewt I will always treasure the memory of a cow-orker who once pronounced SQL*Plus as "squeal! splat! plus!" (I am well aware he was not the only one) @greem @bloor

@mrrmot @countablenewt @greem @bloor If you're like me and came from a Microsoft software development background, you might wonder about the proliferations of "sharps". The world replied "Those are hashtags!"
Enola Knezevic@AncTreat5358 @mrrmot @countablenewt @greem @bloor Used for hashtags but on their own they are just hashes. (Sharp in music is a different sign.)
@rhelune Thank you.
Just to be clear, my post was referring to the programming languages C# and F# (pronounced C-sharp and F-sharp). I believe these are rendered as pound signs instead of the musical shape.
@AncTreat5358 I know, that's Microsoft's fault. Just like calling it "hashtag" is Twitter's. Language evolves, to "decimate" now means to destroy way more than 10%, and "literally" now means "figuratively".
Mike Torr@rhelune @AncTreat5358 IMO "literally" STILL does not mean "figuratively". It does, however, IMPLY "figuratively", given the context of hyperbole, which is a very common trait in the vernacular. However, persuading the average person to care about any of that is figuratively impossible.
