I generally use: "print ell en", but sometimes "print line".

Based on Austrian variant of German language, it feels most natural
to me to pronounce "println" as if it were a native unabbreviated verb.

There are a couple of Austrian verbs ending in -tln, like
"grantln" (to be grumpy), "wurschtln" (to mess around), ...
so "println" fits pretty well, with an attributed meaning of
"to pejoratively say a sentence." ;-)

So, ['prIn tln] is my answer.

I pronounce it as "print line" or "print lin". I tend to use the
first with a newbie and the second with someone more experienced.

I do not use "prin t..." (separating the T from the "prin".

If I ever needed to say the command I would say it like it's spelled, "print-el-en", but I would probably only say it to someone who doesn't know Java ie teaching beginner programmer.

I don't normally write the command. In my own API there is only one println statement, inside a logging wrapper class which prints every debug message along with the class-method that called it and a timestamp.

You could just say it as "papa romeo india november tango lima november" to avoid confusion.

Omigod, can you IMAGINE Stefan trying to speak his style of
code this way? With all those

juliet alpha victor alpha actualdot lima alpha
november golf actualdot uppercase sierra tango
romeo india november golf

's duly and interminably recited?
