Homework Statement

$\hat{r}_{\perp}$ and $\hat{r}_{\parallel}$: How do "practicing" physicists and mathematicians verbalize these symbols? If they ever do?
Do I say r-hat-perpendicular and r-hat-parallel?

Relevant Equations

Speak these in the common tongue: $\hat{r}_{\perp}$ and $\hat{r}_{\parallel}$.

As a systems programmer-engineer-architect, I've at times had to speak in mathematical terms. Rather than 'hat', I would say 'circumflex' for a diacritical above an 'a', or I'd say 'cirumflected a'. The following reference, by Larry Chang, of Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, gives both: E Book Handbook for Spoken Mathematics

Whoa. Thanks for the book! It says a-hat and a-circumflex in there.

r-perp and r-parallel. But really, if you define at the beginning what each symbol means and how you call it, you can pronounce it any way you want.

Zz.
