inp or imp ?
[edit]The introduction states that INP is pronounced imp. Is this correct / should it be inp ? Ronnam (talk) 03:40, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- imp is the correct pronunciation (according to the original documentation, and common usage around UC Berkeley, where the database is still in use) and is virtually indistinguishable from inp in normal conversation (compare to NPR which is typically pronounced mpr.) --UC Bill (talk) 15:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. The English language and what people do with it never ceases to amaze me ! Ronnam (talk) 22:37, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
