ok. question. How does one vocalize "C#"

In my world it's "C sharp", because the octothorpe is also the symbol used for denoting the raising of a pitch by a half step.

C Sharp, yes. That's also the case of F Sharp (F#). Shame there are no C♭ or F♭ though ;).

Was I making an argument for it being better or worse? I don't think so. I did list some that show widely-accepted use of single-letter names for programming languages.
