Subject: [TUHS] origin of the name 'glob'
Date: Sun, 09 Jul 2017 10:52:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1499611931.26387.for-standards-violators@oclsc.org> (raw)
Doug McIlroy:
One curious fact is that from day one the word hase been pronounced glob,
not globe. (By contrast, creat has been variously pronounced cree-at
and create.)
=====
On the other hand, the UNIX Room pronunciation of `cron' rhymed with
bone, not with spawn.
