The programmer character pronunciation guide

There are so many names for so many characters and character combinations. Some of my favorites are asterslash (*/), slashterisk (/*), and bananas (for the parentheses).

All this and more at the ascii-table.com pronunciation guide. Useful!

    Now that is pretty neat-o there sir Shayne. My personal favorites were the cat-astrophe and the slashaster! I guess I should be careful of using that ! though, I wouldn't want someone to think I was shooting at them :S

    While I see the Hyphen does not have the name tack listed there. I know some people who love calling it that.

    Seems tacky.

    Actually that sounds like a great word for it.
