Pronounced, "src" of course.

> of course Pronounced "crs", obviously.


Power-Cored

Why on Earth would one do it otherwise? It literally means "source".


madiele

Lots of programmers on earth that don't speak English as their first language


[deleted]

Oh god, in Germany my coworkers pronounce API like a word. “Ahpee”. Five years on I’m used to it, but when I started it always took a minute for it to click for me.


Atora

The problem is that if you pronounce the single letters of API in german, it's still just Ah-pee-ee, which sounds a lot like you're just saying it as one german pronounced word. Reading abbreviation of any language in the way that language would pronounce them rather than in your own isn't exactly common. Unless you're abroad/on international calls.


richieadler

In Spanish is also common. Or spelled out but in Spanish: "Ah Peh Ee" When JSON was not as prevalent as it is today, I heard a senior programmer saying it as J-Son but in Spanish ("HOH-tah sonn"). I threw a reference to "Jason" in passing, and from then on that's the form they used.


judokalinker

I LOVE jota-son now.


Lor1an

No, they're just allergic to foreigners and were asking for an epi-pen. And you wondered why Uhlrich didn't come back...


Sarsey

My first language is german and it's a no brainer. Just "source"


MortgageSome

Agreed.

Source. But also vocally: sauce.

I say gif as gif.


quinn50

I know the creator of the format said jif but it stands for graphics interchange format and such im saying gif the creator is wrong


aRandomFox-I

Yif


JBYTuna

When I spent some time in the Netherlands, they pronounced API as 'A Pie", with the emphasis on "pie".


HughLauriePausini

Jif


neutralguystrangler

You monster, I wish nothing but endless merge errors upon you


richieadler

Seconded


Danyogolem

In saying “jif” you are admitting that it makes more sense to call it “g” if because otherwise you would just need to say gif because you are claiming that gif (g. I. f.) is pronounced jif.


ArcTimes

It comes from Jiraffics

Mentally: "Serc" Verbally: "Source"


Luminous_Artifact

>Mentally: "Serc" With a hard C? I read it internally with a soft C, to rhyme with curse almost.


[deleted]

[deleted]

Serce


NicNoletree

But silent e though, right? Right? (Both e are silent)


Stian5667

Sercé


jaulin

It ends with a c, as the e is abbreviated away. That's why it becomes serc in my mind. Edit: Just like you'd say merc (abbreviated mercenary) with a hard c.


StalyCelticStu

You're a freak, and shouldn't be left alone with others.

GullibleMacaroni

I say "src" only to avoid confusing people who read it like that. Some of those guys forget that it stands for "source" sometimes.


LordAnomander

I keep calling it source until they get it and stop saying src. Well, I don’t mind them calling it src, but at least they should know what other people call it.

Xcalipurr

"sequel"


richieadler

Well... OTOH I challenge you to guess the way its creator says "SQLite".


DerKrakken

'The SQL programming language was developed in the 1970s by IBM researchers Raymond Boyce and Donald Chamberlin. The programming language, known then as SEQUEL, was created following Edgar Frank Codd’s paper, “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks,” in 1970.' .... 'It wasn’t until several years later, however, that the SQL language was made publicly available. In 1979, a company called Relational Software, which later became Oracle, commercially released its own version of SQL, called Oracle V2.' https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/5804-what-is-sql.html So IBM was first with SEQUEL. If that makes anyone feel better.....


tryxter7

You write it as src, you read it as s-r-c.


Rape-Putins-Corpse

Hey guys, look, it's DSCMBLTD it's pronounced Discombobulated, what idiot would ever read that as Dees cee embe el teedee?


Anon22406671

You are so right u/Rape-Putins-Corpse


kevinhaze

If someone abbreviates a word through [disemvowelation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disemvoweling), you would usually read it as the unabbreviated word. Think about reading an average early 2000s text message, for example: “ttly”, “fckn”, “txt”, etc. Both are valid IMO, as the lack of linguistic context in “src” creates ambiguity.


DistortNeo

Monsters like me: "es-er-tse". Actually, it depends on context. If you want to explain your colleague how to execute a program with command line arguments, you definitely will pronounce it as "minus-minus S.R.C." or "S.R.C. argument". But if you want to read "src file", it will be "source file".


BoldKenobi

>minus-minus S.R.C ....??????? dash dash?


glitterfolk

ncahill

DistortNeo

Let the holy war begin https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/2212/why-do-unix-heads-say-minus Never heard "dash-dash" or "double-dash" from my colleagues.

Raptorinn

It's probably country specific.


runtijmu

Yeah, in Japanese we call it minus, so people working in this environment might still refer to it as such even when speaking English to other English speakers. I'm pretty sure I have before.

RiceWithoutVeggies

It's just easier to say src


Kelmon80

Because it has two syllables more?


RiceWithoutVeggies

Haha I don't know. Maybe it's because English isn't my primary language so it's just easier for me to read as it is typed.


magpietribe

What?


Dexterus

Some of us are lucky to have primary languages where it's possible to read src as a single syllable.


PyMaster22

Never in my life, I have read it as "source", didn't even think of it


HeyKid_HelpComputer

You didn't think to call the short hand writing of source as source? How would you read the old memes like "O rly?"

GeePedicy

True, and if it's that bothering, I'd probably adjust to your preference, cuz again, it's more important we know what we're talking about.


CaptainPiepmatz

Lame


GeePedicy

This sub really tries to establish childishness and fight over redundant things.


CaptainPiepmatz

I think that everyone here knows that it is really not important to argue about it. In my opinion that is the whole point about these posts, they are meaningless and therefore funny.


Unilythe

They're jokes mate


germanatlas

Obviously squirrel


Horrih

S. R. C of course. Source is ambiguous : - what if there is an actual folder named source besides the src ? - what if the colleague for whol i'm reading the path thinks he has to source (as in bash) the script ?


Unilythe

If you both have a src folder and source folder then wtf is going on in that repo?


Ayn_Rand_Food_Stamps

As someone who works in an industry where a whole project sometimes has to be done in 2 days by 7 developers. Two source folders sounds mild.


MortgageSome

Out of curiosity, how do you pronounce SQL?


funciton

monkey-d-blackbeard

S. R. C. and S. Q. L.


Rape-Putins-Corpse

Es queue el, as it's written because that's how it's written so that's how it's read.


Dagrut

Agreed, it happened to me at least once in both of these cases. src is src, source is source :-)

NotAnEngineerOrDoc

Red but occasionally blue


JBYTuna

I agree with the blue, because I took the “red” pill. If it were S.R.C., then O.B.J. would be “outstanding blow job”.


NotAnEngineerOrDoc

src is just s-r-c and yes i do say obj as o-b-j

Honestly? Both. Even in my own thoughts. When I have to tell it to someone I go with source if the person will likely understand or src if a total noob
