It depends on the context in which it's being used.

Thanks for the input guys. I was thinking of actually making a few FreeBSD
tutorial videos.. then show the install of vim/gvim.. and that got me thinking..
What do I call the darn charterers when I refer to them.. things like:

| ` { [ ~

or when you give a command with a parameter like  vim --help
how do you refer to the -- part... I could say minus - minus or I could say
tac - tac... I suppose there is no universal standards that I know of...
