Derek Fawcus scripsit:
While I'd pronounce zealloc as Zee-alloc;
I'd not be inclined
to pronounce zalloc that way, nor as Zed-alloc, but as Zal-loc
(rhymes with Sal-loc). Maybe Larry had this pronounciation
in mind?
Similarly, I pronounce 'calloc' as Kal-loc not, See-alloc.

So other folk from England should have no trouble :-)
Nor other Yanks. :-)
That, of course, leads directly to the vexed question of how to pronounce
"char". For me, it is "tcharr", for others "care".
