The thread is entitled "Silly weekend" . . .
And it is a fairly weak end, But Tits Fun.

I’m with Matthias on this. Some abbreviations are their own thing, and you
don’t want to reminisce over where the short version came from. LOC is spelled
LOC, not Loke, and CHAR is not spelled as Chare or Care.
But it’s your choice, I don’t char.

“Care” and “loke”. Habits from way back in the HyperCard days.

CHAR rhymes with far
LOC rhymes with lock.
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.
