@Asperamanca said in How to build real template class?:

I cannot come up with a more fitting term for "template" in this context

I can think of another term (don't know if better or not), but I'm not allowed to comment :)))
The first part is a color, the second part of the word is what a certain I/O device does :)))

Actually I was referring to commonly used term "reddisplay".
... but I agreed to @Redman so he wouldn't feel bad :)))

That's what you get when using yellow fax wrong :))

The issue brought up here is far from the most objectionable thing on that page. I mean, have you seen THIS nonsense?

Qt (pronounced as "cute", not "cu-tee")

Not just no, but HELL no!

More than enough people say it like this...
I mean, there is no right or wrong.
But I also don't like it as "cute".

Interesting. I don't like it either and prefer "Q-T", but I make myself say "Cute" against my preference.

You are only figuring that out now? Right from the get go (some 20 years ago) I already heard that the "official" pronunciation is "cute". Haven't adapted it yet... (I also don't say "cu-tee" because I'm German and it sounds more like "koo-teh".)

Others have already played off this: There is a web toolkit for C++ heavily borrowing from Qt. It is called Wt (pronounced "witty").

SRSLY.

I resisted 30-odd years ago when they tried to convince us that SCSI was pronounced "sexy" (in fairness, so did everyone else), and I shall be no less resolute against this affront! "Cue tee" is the hill I'm willing to die on.
