OK, this is a spinoff from a comp.lang.c discussion, but howabout followups
to rec.humor (or something else?)
I really wanna know the colloquial pronunciations for the special characters
used by various conventions. Send mail and I'll summarize...
! = bang ? = question mark ( = left paren
* = splat = = equals ) = right paren
$ = ding | = vertical bar or pipe { = open curly brace
# = crunch @ = at } = close curly brace
\ = bash % = percent [ = left bracket
. = dot + = plus ] = right bracket
- = dash _ = underbar ~ = tilde
^ = caret (or hat) & = ampersand < = less than
> = greater than
