Proposal: Namespace Operator Pronounciation - :: = "blup blup"

It's pronounced "cha-ching"

When speaking to friends they have gotten used to me referring to "::" as "SquareDot". On almost all browsers and editors the "::" comes out as a perfect square of four dots...just fell into place for me.

While I use "Slash" (/) and "Backslash" (\), I do use "Bang" (!) as well...

Em ta-ching... I may have to start using that one...

I like Squaredot, but one of the other cool things about blupping (it's my word, I made it) is that it scales from : to :::: ! Check out the title of http://blogs.msdn.com/Acoat/ 's blog, which you'd have to call an oblong dot :)

Haha, very true. In a programming sense I have never had an issue. However when outside of the programming area (or in certain circumstances) blup is better in that it is one syllable. Heck of a lot better than saying colon colon colon colon...

blupping is definitely more fun..I will concede.

Up, up and away. Did I mention
