"Ousterhout's original 1990 USENIX paper on [Tcl] did actually specify the pronunciation as the word Tickle, rather than T-C-L." [http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_thread/thread/e0a7d3448af96711/] "'Tai4 ku4' (\u592a\u9177) is an acceptable Mandarin Chinese pronunciation." ---- It was a good decision to invent [tcltest] rather than, say, "testtcl". Or, better yet, do '''not''' say the latter, at least in English.
