How do you say EVGA?

[phucheneh]

how does your inner voice interpret it?
letters?
a word?
an imaginary emoticon?

My brain says leh/luh-may-oh

I never even considered that that may not be normal.

I pronounce AMD as "ahmd" and Nvidia as "en-vee-aye-dee-aye-ay."

I spell it out because I grew up with VGA but one of my classmates says e-Vag :whiste:

 

[brianmanahan]

I call them evguh but thats mostly because my clients/friends/peers know what company I'm referring to. If it's an important client I call it E V G A to be proper and all official.

...

are your clients all hillbillies?

Most of my clients are wise/understand the PC industry enough to understand what I'm talking about when I call EVGA evguh. I mean, it's not like I get large-scale business owners calling me up every week and asking me whats the latest graphics card for their office PCs. If I do mention EVGA in a business sense, I use E-V-G-A. If I'm shooting shit with my clients over opinion-based things (drivers, etc) I call them evguh. A client to me is anyone who has paid me to do work, or has given me something tangible in return for services.

A good example of this is my middle school, Dartmouth. Proper way would be to say it as it is, but most of my friends/colleagues call it Dirtmouth. It's just for slight humor I guess.

 

[Pilky]

I've always spelled it out.

Whoever decided SCSI was pronounced scuzzy should be shot on sight.

oh haha, yeah they havent been around for a while. got my VGA card in '94, then upgraded to SVGA in '96.

after SVGA they started dropping the acronyms because there were so many and it got ridiculous. switched to just specifying the max resolution instead.

What's ridiculous about WQUXGA? Nothing, that's what.

Everyone knows that's the reason they made SAS.

SXGA masterrace.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I just say the letters, so ee-vee-gee-aye


Also I thought VGA normally meant "video graphics adapter" and not the actual port VGA when talking about video cards.

I just call it...sassy. :sneaky:

I never even considered there being "a way to pronounce it."

So you purposely mispronounce it to sound humorous, while actually sounding like an idiot. :thumbsup:
