I say them as you do, because they are the first part of words that have
a known pronounciation. Saying "lock" instead of "loke" is particularly
confusing because "lock" is a keyword with an entirely different meaning.
For those who say "lock" instead of "loke", how do you say "lockLoc"?
"Locklock"?

CHAR rhymes with far
LOC rhymes with lock.
This is at least how i pronounce them. But i am native German and not native
English.
Btw.: due to the fact that LC language is english like, you should see my
comments and variable names in my scripts.
They are mixed, some comments are in english some in german, even in one and
the same script. It could be that i use tDate in one script and in another one
tDatum as date var.
But that´s an other story.

I wonder how people pronounce two common LC abbreviations. In print you never
notice but in real life I always have to translate what they're talking about.
How do you pronounce:
CHAR
Rhymes with "care"
Sounds like smoldering wood
LOC
Rhymes with "smoke"
Sounds like a deadbolt
I suppose there are others.
