Decision of general principle xD

So, I was listening to this cool new podcast and as a side-effect got curious about the word "construct".

I heard two different syllable stresses: construct and construct. Now from the dictionaries I learned that the first is the noun, while the latter is the verb.

Of course, someone like me just has to know what you all interpret "construct" to be: the verb or the noun? I always stressed the first syllable

And how about you, Ashley and Tom, was the noun on your mind or the verb, when the software was created some 8 or so years ago? I'm pretty sure that nowadays you don't really care, but how was it back then?

In my British accent I say construct (does the underlining make sense? ), but obviously different people have different accents! There's not the one true way to speak...

I've always thought as the definition 'feeling' more like a noun, rather than a verb, as in "a complex idea resulting from a synthesis of simpler ideas".

This just feels right to me, as the software allows you to use the simplistic event system to create quite complex outcomes.

tulamide I love dumb stuff like this. heh..

I'm American, I say CONstruct as well.

I think of it as a noun just because it's software. conSTRUCT would seem really weird to me.

I just call it Seetoo.

tulamide, I hope it's not my accent that made you doubt on how you should say construct. Now that I think about it, I don't even know how I say it... *imagine me saying construct out loud, 20 times, in front of my computer* I think I say CONstruct.

Now I am going to be totally thinking about this on our next podcast. Thanks a lot

Thank you all for sharing it with me! I really am just curious. Yes, sometimes I'm coming around the corner with some weird stuff

I would love to say I'm sorry. But truth is, I'm not!

I said construct until I remembered that yes, construct is the noun and construct is the verb. Using the verb made more sense to me, until I heard someone else say it construct and then I was confused and so now I say both interchangeably!

I vote for official pronunciation as construct. ;D

I shall call it C2 from here on out.

Me too

So you're following the anarchistic path of newt?

But remember, that's two syllables as well. So, will it be seetoo or seetoo?

Const struct too
