How do you pronounce ``[/sup]''?

1) Open bracket, forward slash, ess, you, pee, closing bracket
2) Sup [with appropriate hand motion]
3) Slash-sup (faggot)
4) Other

4) Reported.

You left out the obvious un-sup and more correct end-sup.

Also, it should sound like soup, except it shouldn't be sounded at all. What is the sound of one tag closing in a post with no parser around to HTML-ify it? -- Hey, we have an answer to that one already! (And it's really friggin' annoying, as it happens.)

>>3
the sound of one tag closing
beautiful

3 is how I go about it.

>>4
Only when it's the [m] tag, or so the consensus has it.

I say ``end sup''. I thought for sure that that would the faggot option.

>>7
It's isomorphic to the faggot option if you don't care about correctness, but then again, most people who use end-sup do care about correctness.

I usually think of it as ``slash-sup'' to be honest. When you think about it, however, open and close bbcode and html tags are, in a way, extensions to our bracket system. Take this, for example:

int main (void)
{
    /*code goes here*/
    return 0;
}

pronounced:

int main open-paren void close-paren
open-curly
    /*code goes here*/
    return 0;
close-curly

We can now begin to look at our bbcodes in a new fashion:
[i]
    I
[/i]
am an
[b]
    [i]
        [o]
            [u]
                EXPERT BBCODE PROGRAMMER
            [/u]
        [/o]
    [/i]
[/b]

When you start to think of bbcode like this, you begin to realize that it is most logical to name our bbcode ``brackets'' in a manner similar to regular brackets. Therefore, the best way for one to pronounce the previous section would be:

open-italics
    I
close-italics
am an
open-bold
    open-italics
        open-overline
            open-underline
                EXPERT BBCODE PROGRAMMER
            close-underline
        close-overline
    close-italics
close-bold


I will attempt to adopt this new naming scheme, and I would advise my fellow /prog/riders to do the same.

Finally. Someone who can do this thread properly.

I've noticed I read code with other sounds where the punctuation would be:

int main hug void guh
urgh
 slaris code goes here assh
 return zero ek
gruh

I'm not sure whether I hope you're serious or not serious.

I think I used to do something like this when I was younger, mapping sounds to concepts. I don't think I've done it within the past 10 years or so, however.

Well, this thread turned out about as shit as I expected.
