println! - I know it's print line, but I'll often read it as print-lin, or just print.

print-lin

@slightknack

What about fn as in function? Do you read it as fun, fn (like just together, no real vowels), f-n, function, fin, or something else?

fin. Though, strangely, I pronounce the Fn trait as f-n. Guess I'm just weird...

@slightknack

How about impl as in implement? do you read it impleh, impul, implah, the full 'implement', or as something else?

impul

@slightknack

What about toml, as in Tom's Obvious markup language? tomul? t-o-m-l?

tomul

@slightknack

fmt as in format? do you read it f-m-t, fumpt (just me?), format, etc.?

no idea. Didn't say it out loud yet.

@slightknack

What about mut as in mutable? mute, mutt, mutable, something else?

mute

@Kudostoy0u

How do you pronounce &str ?

"string slice" or just "string" if it's clear I'm referring to a slice from the context

@Kudostoy0u

Is enum pronounced e - num , e - noom , or eh-num ?

"e - num"

@Kudostoy0u

How do you pronounce eq in assert_eq ?

"equal" as in "assert equal"

@Kudostoy0u

How about println!() ?

"print line"

@Kudostoy0u

What about std ?

"standard"

@Kudostoy0u

Is the ampersand ( & ) symbol for you pronounced " ref ," " amp ," " and ," " slice ," or simply nothing?

Depending on context: either nothing, "slice", or "ref".

@Kudostoy0u

Do you not say the " ! " macro symbol, or do you say " bang "?

Depends on context: I either don't pronounce it or I say "macro", e.g. println! just becomes "print line" but format! would become "format macro".
