# - octothorpe usually but sometimes sharp depending on context
& - ampersand but if it's in a book or in writing, just plain 'and'
* - asterisk, star
char - Char Aznable!
&quot - and quote? quote? quotation mark?

# = context-sensitive pronunciation. Only geeks realize it's an octothorpe. Usually "hash" or "pound sign" work just fine. (I'm in the US, so no context issues wrt "pound sign")

& = Ampersand. "And sign" when speaking to the uninitiated.

* = Asterisk. "Star" when speaking to the uninitiated.

char = "kare" or "kahr". I generally use "kahr" because that's the common pronunciation where I work, though "kare" makes sense in recognition of it as a shortened version of "kare-ack-ter".

&quot = typo. Unless ". In which case, "Quotes". Not "double quotes".

i would rather say tchar. it sounds much better

Name: Anonymous 2005-08-25 10:27

It pisses me off when people pronounce it "car" on the grounds that "it's short for character not charcoal". Yeah dumbass, and car is also Lisp speak for the first item in a list, care to disambiguate me?

XOR -- I pronounce it the correct way: zor

# -- hash
& -- and
* -- ref
char -- care
&quot -- and-quote

This is all just in programming context though.
