I wouldn’t be surprised if I have a few “anal”s lying around in veritable names I’ve written over the years.
We have a lot of “analysis” in our application and I bet I have shortened them a few times, and in my head I would have pronounced it as uh-naa-l not realizing what it also looked like.
I wrote a utility to analyze processes for a database system that liked to capitalize and abbreviate everything. To keep my naming conventions in the spirit of things, and because I was feeling a little spicy that day, I named the table that the utility wrote the analysis results into "PROC.ANAL"
