What we need is a FAQ on pronounciation of computer terms and their meanings. We could call it.... um.... the Jargon File! yeah! and we could publish it in paper form with the title "The New Hacker's Dictionary.". We could get somebody to edit it.. I hear there's a bloke called Eric who does a little of that sort of thing. Perhaps we can get him to do it, and he can pocket the profits, because he's saving the net hundreds if not millions of dollars in articles on how to pronounce "sysop". BTW, /sis'-op/ is the Jargon File Standard Pronounciation. pdt, who has better things to do. * These opinions belong to pdt@mundil.cs.mu.OZ.AU unless otherwise specified. You were expecting an intelligent, witty, and articulate .signature? Ha!
