How to pronounce INTCK and INTNX function in SAS.
What an odd question? I tend to go with "Int" followed by C then K, or N then X. They aren't real words so don't have any pronunciation.
I've heard INTCK pronounced IN-TICK, which at first I thought was referring to a function I did not know.
These are hard ones to pronounce so I don't try.
Int-C-K (int-cee-kay) and Int-N-X (int-en-ex).
I say LIBNAME as in lib-erty, you say LIBNAME as in lib-rary - aren't accents wonderful!
@SASKiwi don't you say lu-berty? 😉
And what about BLKSHPTPRC()?
Now you're just being silly.
Obviously you can't pronounce every crazy mixture of consonancts, but I think the OPs question is valid and interesting.
I hear people talking about "ess-ay-ess software" (vs "sass") or using the "jay-em-pee product" (vs "jump"). Knowing how most people pronounce a string of characters is important, even if there is variation.
You say dah-ta, I say day-ta...
@ChrisNZ: probably! Maybe you say LEEBNAME or is that the Aussie version?!
Both probably! 🙂
