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

Name: Anonymous 2010-03-26 14:02

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

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.
