pronunciation - How to pronounce "tuple"?


A recent question has reminded me of something I’ve been wondering about for a while: what is the correct way to pronounce tuple?



Answer



There are two possible pronunciations, one to rhyme with two pull (/tupəl/) and the other with supple (/tʌpəl/).


Take your pick. There will always be someone to agree with you... violently :)
