How do the people that use these vectors pronounce bra?  Is it as in
brassiere or as in bracket (from which the word comes)?  I presume ket
is pronounced as it looks.

I have a rather large (English) pronunciation guide of mathematical
terms at

http://waukesha.uwc.edu/mat/kkromare/main.html

and want to include the word.  It is a work in progress with much to be
done, however most mathematics words found in undergraduate mathematics
courses and many historical and recreational mathematics terms are
already included.  Even common words are included so anyone who's native
language is not English may find it useful.

Thanks,
Kent
