last week in class I witnessed somebody reading a C program to
another person and they were having some difficulties because of
different pronunciation of some C language terms...so how do
professional programmers pronounce these things?

1. '\0'

2. '\n', '\a', '\b', '\f', etc.

3. NULL, nul (how to distinguish these two?)

4. char (3 possible ways I've heard are 4a) like the 1st syllable in
"character", 4b) like "char coal", and 4c) like "car"

5. Motif (like "motive" or more like the French word?)

6. x = y, x == y (how to distinguish these two?)

7. ++x, x++, x += n

8. argc, argv


thanks
