Bspwm: [feature request] standardize official pronunciation of bspwm

Created on 11 Mar 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: baskerville/bspwm

To whom it may concern:

Is there an official way to pronounce bspwm? I would like to propose /b蓹'sp蕢:m/ (BUH-SPOOWM).

/b蓹'sp蕢:m/ is much faster to say (71% fewer syllables), and I think this pronunciation will help increase the popularity of bspwm with the youth.

If there is a different official pronunciation, perhaps it could be added to the documentation to make things clearer.

not an answer at all - but how would you pronounce ncmpcpp? ;)
as bspwm is only the first letters for every word I say it like it's spelled bee-ess-pee

@pjhalsli Excellent question, I'm glad you asked.

Personally, I'm partial to the "nincompoop" pronunciation (/藞niNGk蓹m藢po蜑op/)

I'm also a big fan of pronouncing the cat command as "cat" (like the furry animal), rather than "c-a-t"

cat (as the animal) makes sense because of conCATenate
but your pronunciation of ncmpcpp makes it sound like there's vowels in the word :)
When using abbrevation of several words I for one like to use the letters as they are.
United States = yu- ess and not us (the opposite of them)

Just pronounce it like B-S-P-W-M lol

I personally for one agree with btlvr. I think /b蓹'sp蕢:m/ (BUH-SPOOWM) is the only option. As an English major I think I we should adopt this ASAP as possible. #mostimportantpullrequestever
