How do you pronounce z80?
« on: May 18, 2011, 03:28:25 pm »
Simple question: how do you pronounce the z80 mnemonics? Don't feel compelled to mention every single instruction, but at least mention those you pronounce differently from me.


Capital letter means pronounce the letter, lowercase letters means pronounce the word. Ones in bold are ones I think I pronounce strangely!

I always pronounce:
ret = return
jp = jump
nop = nop
xor = xor
res = reset

Spoiler For This was the original msg:

:o You don't pronounce mnemonics like neg, bit, and call as words?

For me:

ret = "retire"
ldir = "L-Director"
res = "res"
nop = "n-o-p"
ld = "l-d"
rst = "rest" or "reset"

Am I the only one who pronounces jr as "jur"?  I think ldir as "elder" is normal.  But a lot of these I instinctively pronounce as what they stand for.  Like I generally say "compare" for cp and "rotate right" for rr, etc. instead of reading the actual letters.

I do all of this too.  I don't think I have any notably weird ones.  Maybe that I say "D-J-N-Z" as all separate letters. :)

Well, I say DJNZ as the plural of d'jinn (or what it would be, if d'jinn was English in origin)
