Big Mistake
On the way to an early bedtime, I made the mistake of reading a page on Maddox’s site. I found this gem (from a list of words he hates):
URL (as pronounced “ERL”): Few things invoke more contempt for humanity than someone who pronounces URL as “erl.” It’s an acronym, not a word you douche! Between people who say “erl” and programmers who pronounce char (an abbreviation for character) as “chär” (with the “ch” pronounced like in “chart”), I get so pissed that I just want to saw my arms off.
Made me think back to high school CS, with the char, and the “I said Mon, not Mom,” and the mw-hai…!
