where sinc(x)= {sin(x)}/x

I've never seen this terminology before. Is this standard math parlance or
is it something of your own?

Don't flame, I'm genuinely curious.

I see the sinc function all the time. I was introduced to it in school, in
a signal processing class, and people at work use it fairly often. In my
experience it seems that anyone who deals with signal processing or fft's
is familiar with the sinc() function. And I've always heard it pronounced
the same as the word "sink."
