But I *was* wearing garters!! And even brassiere! I think what was wrong was that you didn't tell us that one needs to have them in size DD.
If DD is a size, I wonder how big the PD size is.
Anyway, seriously, if you wanted [unpost] as an external for Miller's pd, you can't, because Miller rejected the sys_printhook patch in 2004.

That really sucks. Maybe it would go in now that there is this excellent concrete example of being able to catch and process errors in-patch. I would love to see your work in my favorite Pd distribution.

If it makes sense to you that excellent concrete examples can push new features into pd, I cannot help your case. It doesn't work that way.

Well that was a joke. What's much less of a joke is that every French-speaking knows what PD sounds like: it sounds like going to prison for playing with the children. In less enlightened times it was also used as a slang word for gay (which nowadays would be denounced as being an extremely inflammatory association).
Now, Miller lived in Paris in the 80's, which is pretty much when and where the word pédé meant both those things. What led Miller to create Pd was a disagreement with his former employer in Paris. Guess what Pd is named after. Someone told me it stood for "pay day", but it wouldn't quite fit with Miller's humour so far.
Anyway, whatever the intention was, in French, pd users are more likely to say PureData than "pd" except when they believe no-one will make fun of it. The initials are hard to avoid using. I find that even in French people tend to pronounce those letters as English in order to avoid saying pédé (I mean in Montréal; I don't have much contact with France).

I recommend in French to call it, "dP", in order to avoid confusion...
cheers Miller

Yeah, déjà vu, we have had this discussion before.
But PureData is a proper noun: if we have to say DonnéesPures, for consistency we'd also have to call you Meilleur Pâquette... or perhaps Millaire.
(note: those names really exist but are specific to Canada and they're all lastnames)
