@44r0n-9 Well, people could just be unlazy and say character in full, as that's what it's supposed to represent. Supposed because it doesn't actually, but that was the original intent.

I really wish people would stop pronouncing abbreviations in a manner inconsistent with the word of which they're an abbreviation. For instance, "strcpy()" is not "stir copy" but rather "string copy". It's like when people pronounce "char" as though you're going to flame-broil some meat. It should be "care" as it is an abbreviation for character.
