Nice Matt. I was looking for just a thread like that, seaching under 'spoken' and 'speak'. There's some very odd ones there. That's what I mean about local dialect. You could have a jolly good flame war over that sort of thing I expect. I never ever heard a - called a worm before. One that stands out as obvious and universal is saying 'is' = and 'equals' == to make a very useful distinction. Calling a 'shebang' for #! or 'inc' for ++ is more the sort of thing I'm thinking about, ie how you actually speak your code to coleagues. cheers,
Andy.
