Do you hate it when people say "puter" in place of "computer"?

Ah, yes. Lamp with a tail and guy in front of a heater. That sounds like my puter.

I hate this, similarly I hate the way people say "compooter" like some morons say "toob" instead of "tube"

wait...

how do you say "tube?"

like, "t-yube?"

Exactly. Do you say "compooter" or "toon" instead of "tune"? Do you say "poobs" instead of "pubes"?

 

[Phoenix86]

The correct term is CPU.

Box.

I've never heard anyone actually say that out loud.

This.
I've seen it spelled as such online a lot, but never verbally.

What irritates me is when a (l)user refer to it as "modem", "brain box", "hard drive", etc.

 

[jupiter57]

No it's not. CPU is one part of the computer aka Central Processing Unit.. The computer is everything

Actually, CPU IS the correct terminology for all the assembled components in a case.
Central Processing Unit, consists of the Processor, Mainboard, Power Supply, Memory, Peripherals, etc., all combined in a case to complete a "Central Processing Unit".

kind of sad that it took 43 posts before Lord Nikon made an appearance. i thought that he would be plastered all over this topic.

Interesting. I never realized I'm inconsistent with how I say those words. I say them this way:

Computer = compyuter
tune = toon
pubes = pyubes
tube = toob.
lube = loob
cube = cyube

Even now knowing this, I will continue to say them the same way I always have, because that's how everyone says them around here.

Despite the awesomeness of your avatar, you are wrong.

Wow. That's bizzare. Fair enough, different strokes for different folks. I say "yu" on all of those except for "lube" just because it's quite complex to pronounce it that way.

Not many in the U.S. talk like you do, except for the occasional tools who try to sound British by adopting the atrocious "TORnament", or the equally annoying "an historic".

Excuse me, I need to go and order an ham sandwich.

Couple of questions about your post.

1) How do you pronounce "tournament"
2) What do you call a ham sandwich?

The only people I notice saying "'puter" tend to be women who are not particularly computer literate.

I don't care. Not even a little bit.

 

[drebo]

I call it a puter (pronounced poo-ter) when talking to my wife because it sounds a lot like cooter, and she hates that.

What irks me the most is when they call it a "hard drive".

 

[Perknose]

not as much as "keying" instead of typing.

On their typeboards!

Yeah or "CPU" referring to say, a desktop PC (just the case).

Cant remember the last time a girl asked me to look at her puter.
