       FOR THE RECORD: You can pronounce "tuple" as "too-ple" or "tuh-ple", and everyone will know what you mean. You don't gotta get all tense about it.I'm a "too-ple" person, but I love all persons equally, including "tuh-ple" persons.PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF A NOTORIOUS PEDANT.Go in peace.

       @GeePawHill I prefer “too-ple,” but since the “too” sounds like the number 2, people seem to get confused that a tuple only holds 2 values, so I’ll often pronounce it as “tuh-ple” to remove that confusion, and I’ll usually say “N-tuple” or “2-tuple,” “5-tuple,” and so on.
