Out of interest, what do you consider to be the correct pronunciation of CHAR? There seems to be considerable variation in how people pronounce it (see e.g. [1,2]). Personally I have always used the '/tʃɑr/' one, and similar for VARCHAR.

As in "character" for which CHAR and VARCHAR are abbreviations?
