Talk:P′′

The name of the language
Are you saying the correct pronunciation is "pee prIm PrIm"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.53.172.147 (talk) 16:05, 30 September 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I'm saying that the written name of this language given by the author (in the published article where it was defined), is a kind of curly letter "P" followed by two "prime" characters. The article doesn't say how to pronounce it.  Here's a fragment of the published article, so readers can see for themselves. --r.e.s. 23:29, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Page move
I moved this page from P prime prime to P′′. The article had a wrongtitle note, claiming the right title was $$\mathcal{P}^{\prime\prime}$$. In my opinion, that's wrong. Page titles here on Wikipedia are always in the default roman font. For example, novel titles are written in italics, but the name of the article about a novel is still upright. Basically, what I'm arguing is that we wouldn't use \mathcal in the title even if we could. dbenbenn | talk 18:29, 11 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Excellent, given that you've also added an important redirect to this article from P&#39;&#39; (using "single quotes" instead of "primes"). Since the "prime" characters in the title are easily misread as "single quote" characters, and also cannot be directly typed on standard keyboards, a reader searching for this article is likely to type P&#39;&#39; instead of P′′ (see what I mean?). --r.e.s.

On the subject of proper language names ...
As it stands, the article Bowdlerises the name of the Brainfuck language to brain****. Which isn't appropriate, if you ask me, considering the detailed discussion of this language's name above ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by A Karley (talk • contribs) 03:02, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The Schools' FAQ states that "Wikipedia is not bowdlerized or censored." Accordingly, I've restored the original references to brainfuck in the article. --r.e.s. (talk) 03:43, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

What is the pronounciation?
Is there any one correct way to pronounce the name? --201.83.149.39 (talk) 00:20, 2 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'd like to know too. If there isn't a correct or agreed upon way to pronounce it, that should be noted in the article. &mdash; Fr&epsilon;ckl&epsilon;fσσt | Talk 16:15, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I would guess the proper name is "Rho double prime", correctly written as Ρʺ or U+03A1 U+02BA, but the ambiguity is likely to be a mathematician's joke. 2001:470:1F09:10D6:3493:51E6:3757:8DCC (talk) 08:14, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Influenced
Is it appropriate to say that P′′ influenced brainfuck, given that it is unknown whether Urban Muller was aware of Corrado Bohm's paper/language? 140.32.111.75 (talk) 20:49, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
