Pronouncing “puts”

A question came up after lecture as to why I pronounced puts the way I did; i.e., I say “put-ess“, instead of just “puts”.  Reason: puts really stands for “put string”, and so I say the ’s’ separately for emphasis.  

This might seem a little odd, though, as we can use both numerical and String arguments to the puts method.  Ignoring this odd fact for now (we’ll explain it away in the future), I hope this helps clear things up.
