I tend to name variables in Scots or Bulgarian, mainly because calling a field "field" (whichever way you pronounce it) throws a "bluey" with LiveCode (and I have no way of knowing LiveCode's internal pronunciation of these terms).

This is at least how i pronounce them. But i am native German and not native 
English.

Btw.: due to the fact that LC language is english like,  you should see my 
comments  and variable names in my scripts.
They are mixed, some comments are in english some in german, even in one and 
the same script. It could be that i use tDate in one script and in another  one 
tDatum as date var.
But that´s an other story.

I wonder how people pronounce two common LC abbreviations. In print you never 
notice but in real life I always have to translate what they're talking about.

How do you pronounce:

CHAR
  Rhymes with "care"
  Sounds like smoldering wood

LOC
  Rhymes with "smoke"
  Sounds like a deadbolt

I suppose there are others.
