水木上有个帖子讨论tuple这个词该怎么读，于是有人翻出来这个三年前的新闻组邮件

Then we went to hear Guido speak about Python 2.2 at a ZPUG meeting in Washington, DC. When he said toople I almost fell out of my chair laughing, particularly because the people who taught me to say it the “right” way were with me. When I looked over, they just hung their head in shame.

I work with Guido now and I’m conflicted. I’m still conditioned to say tuhple. Whenever he says toople, I just get a smile on my face. I think most of the PythonLabs guys pronounce it toople. 有意思，嘿嘿

我一直习惯把这个词读成/tʌpəl/，估计是受tunnel这个词的影响，然后查了下http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tuple#Pronunciation_2 发现/tuːpəl/和/tʌpəl/都可以
