How do you correctly or erroneously pronounce programming terms? Any that you find need strict correction or history into the early CS culture?

Programming

char = "tchar" not care?

! = bang not exclamation?

# = pound not hash? Exception #! = shebang

* = splat not star?

regex = "rej ex" not "regg ex"?

sql = "s q l" not "sequel""s q l" not "sequel" (already answered, just i.e.)

Unixen

| = pipe not vertical bar?

bin = bin as in pin , not as in binary?

lib = lib as in library , not as in liberate?

etc = "ett see" , not "e t c" (as in /etc and not "&c")

Annoyance

/ = slash not backslash

LaTeX = "laytek" not "lay teks"
