joke pronunciation
The lead sentence of this encyclopedia article is not the proper place for inside jokes. misli h  18:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Opinions on User talk:Man It's So Loud In Here argumentation:

1) almost every entry on wikipedia has a description for its phonetic pronunciation, why CP2K should be different?

2) your main argument of leaving the mentioned description out is because (citation from History)"the pronunciation is obvious" or "how else would it be pronounced?". Commenting your first opinion, let's shine some light on the big world of darkness and explicit how things are suppose to be: conclusions based on a criteria like "to be obvious" forbids the advance of real knowledge to happens. Progress and advances have to be founded on solid bases and be able to undergo constant skeptic scrutiny. Reasons like the one used by detractor of an explicit pronunciations are arbitrary, dogmatic and destined to fail for general consensus.

3) in connection to reason 2), I tried to give as a hint to the ones against on why a formal phonetic descriptor is desired, namely an insider joke. This could in a first analysis sound naive and superficial, but this is by no means meant to be neither something without moral respect nor conveying any racist or discriminatory message. Have you already heard the sentence "If you have to explain a joke, it isn’t funny"?

4) the repetitive undo and "please" warnings has been made in compliance to the Wikipedia:Vandalism act, namely "The user ( h ) must be given sufficient recent warnings to stop".

Thank you for the comprehension, hoping to have clarified why a phonetic description is needed. 85.2.164.195 (talk) 07:59, 17 July 2010 (UTC) -sg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.1.198.79 (talk) 20:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)


 * So you never actually answered the question "how else would it be pronounced?" The point is that CP2K isn't "pronounced" as if it were a word.  You just say the letters and numbers in the order in which it is written. The "pronunciation" key isn't helpful to anyone.  It is a joke, and doesn't belong here, so I removed it.  I will continue to remove it.   misli  h  02:41, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
