Re: Spoken Code - German mixture

[fraktalisman]

Back in the 1980's computer magazines used to print program code so their readers could type it in for themselves. My father and me took turns in reading aloud and typing. Being Germans, we spoke a strange mixture of German and English, like
"FOR i gleich eins TO zehn: PRINT i: NEXT"
(FOR I=1 TO 10 : PRINT I : NEXT) - that's Commodore BASIC.
We didn't pronounce things like colons unless it was ambiguous.

Now decades later, I still speak (mostly silently) to myself like that when reading or writing perl. Or maybe it's even got worse because of all the abbreviated commands like ~s ...
"dollar f von dollar param gleich suche Leerzeichen ersetze durch prozent zwanzig, global"
( $f{$param}=~s/ /%20/g; )
