Ummm, so how is "Coq" pronounced?

  https://github.com/coq/coq/wiki/Presentation https://github.com/coq/coq/wiki/Presentation >Did you really need to name it like that? >Some French computer scientists have a tradition of naming their software as animal species: Caml, Elan, Foc or Phox are examples of this tacit convention. In French, “coq” means rooster, and it sounds like the initials of the Calculus of Constructions CoC on which it is based.

    The big irony is: "Coq" is for English speaker exactly what "Bit" is in French. No problem when written, and ok spoken between grown up professionals obviously (though I still avoid translating bitwise operator because it becomes "cock to cock operator" when spoken), but elementary school with all the 8/16/32 bits consoles was painful...
