In my country almost all programmers read
"varchar", "char" etc as "vartschar" ("ch"
is pronounced like in "chair").
As I suppose "varchar" comes from "variable
character" and so that it should be pronounced
"varkar".
How do you pronounce this and similar words?
Please note if you are native english speaker
or not.

There are a lot of words pronounced very differently
for example "Delphi", ([delfee], [delfay]), "Chi-Writer"
(do you remember?), etc

Regards,
Miroo
