Don't ever work in retail... or consulting.... or any business where you might have to be in public and pronounce it.
It's N-VID-I-A. N. "EN". Where can you possibly get na-vidia since there's no A to slap in there?

And besides, if you've ever heard an nVidia rep speaking in a press conference or similar, they pronounce it the way the rest of us are.

Unless you're Popeye the Sailor and have your very own pronunckiashin for everything.

I pronounce it that way because I want to pronounce it that way. I'm glad that you don't say it that way but you know what I don't care how you pronounce it. The thread was asking how we, as individuals, pronounce it. That is how I pronounce it.

Two plus two is FIVE dangit! FIVE!! I know it is! I don't care what all you idiots think, it's FIVE! I don't care what that "Mister Math" Know-it-all "Doctor" smart guy says.... there's nothing you can say to make me change my mind! Just look at my fingers... FIVE![/quote]

Yeesh..... "I don't care what the proper, real name is, I'll call it whatever I want just to confuse every person I ever speak to...."

 

[idNut]

[wfbberzerker]

[WarmAndSCSI]

It's officially pronounced "en-vid-ee-uh"

How do you pronounce ATOT?

You don't. See, people in the real world have no idea this place exists. That's because it really doesn't. So, the word ATOT does not exist in the real world, either. Therefore you cannot pronounce it. If you ever attempt to say ATOT out loud, you might create a fracture in the fabric of reality causing the virtual world to pour out into the real world. Chaos would ensue.

On a similar note, does anyone ever say ROFL or LOL? And if you do (thereby proving your nerd status ), how do you pronounce it? El-oh-el, or just lol?

I say the letters, A-T-O-T. Heh.

So I guess I was wrong about my comment, nVidia themselves actually prononce it N-vid-e-uh, and not with a silent (n)Vidia?

Not sure where I originally heard that. Maybe it was in a dream... lol

Yeesh..... "I don't care what the proper, real name is, I'll call it whatever I want just to confuse every person I ever speak to...." [/quote]Why aren't you saying this to the other two people who said they say it that way as well? Why can't you just let me say it the way I want to with out critisizing me. I just assumed that's how you are supposed to say. I never even use the word so I don't understand why it matters. Find something better to do with your time then telling me how I should say something.

So it doesn't bother you in the least to look very, very silly in front of anyone who asks you about video cards?
That's like me walking into a music shop and saying I want a "my-dye cable". The person will look at me very confused... I'd have to launch into a tirade about what I think it is, then the saleman says, "Ohhhhh... you mean MID-ee!" (MIDI)
"Yeah, that's how YOU pronounce it, but *I* pronounce it 'mye-dye' because I think it makes more sense that way."
"Ummm... Industry standards have officially pronounced it as 'mid-ee' for over 20 years now..."
"I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!"


You didn't know - no big deal. Now you DO know. Time to correct, smile and move on. Now you can impress your friends by pronouncing it properly and they'll be all the happier for it.


BTW, what got my goat was not the error in itself, but that you flat-out refused to accept the proper pronunciation and plan to keep on pluggin' the way you've been doing it in the past. I'll tell you one thing, that sure doesn't work when trying to speak other languages... I still remember being in Paris, France and hearing a very loud American woman speaking with a *thick* southern accent, "merci" though it was totally unrecognisable as so. Sometimes you just gotta' break the pattern and do it the way it should properly be done.
