pronunciation of *

[THOMAS, PETE TEACHING ASSISTANT]

Ridiculous.  A * is a star is a star.  Nobody says "asterisk" and for
gossakes "ls 'glob'" or "globe" or "global" just doesn't roll off the
tongue.  Sorry to say but I'll keep on saying star; noone's called me
names yet because of it.  (Although that may start tomorrow).
