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 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?
AMD- Aye-em-deeI pronounce AMD as "ahmd" and Nvidia as "en-vee-aye-dee-aye-ay."
What's ridiculous about WQUXGA? Nothing, that's what.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.
Everyone knows that's the reason they made SAS.Whoever decided SCSI was pronounced scuzzy should be shot on sight.

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