As a general rule of thumb:

  bef0  is be e ef zero....
  VI is vee eye
  * star
  char   is char....

  REMEMBER: most of the worlds best programmers are also kinda lazy as in
            pronunciations.  Also take a look at unix  LS  why not LIST,
            PR  why not PRINT,  LP  why not LINEPRINT???  It seems to me
            that the computing world wants quick and easy commands and the
            computing world wants quick and easy pronunciations.

  Thats my  $.02 (pronounced 2 cents) worth....
