UNIX FAQ Version 2.1 92/12/04 -- Question 1.6

What happened to the pronunciation list that used to be part of this document?

From its inception in 1989, this FAQ document included a comprehensive pronunciation list maintained by Maarten Litmaath (thanks, Maarten!). (Does anyone know who *created* it?)

It has been retired, since it is not really relevant to the topic of "Unix questions". You can still find it as part of the widely-distributed "Jargon" file (maintained by Eric S. Raymond, eric@snark.thyrsus.com) which seems like a much more appropriate forum for the topic of "How do you pronounce /* ?"

If you'd like a copy, you can ftp one from ftp.wg.omron.co.jp (133.210.4.4), it's "pub/unix-faq/docs/Pronunciation-Guide".
