1. Javy Joan Baez (chris h.) Posted: January 07, 2012 at 02:43 PM (#4031263)No idea why.
Thankfully I've never had to bring up SNLVAR.
Probably because the "a" is for "above." That makes perfect sense to me. Well, that would have you pronouncing it as if the a were a schwa, but it still makes sense somehow. I guess there are times when the a in above is straight short "o." I'm a pronunciation specificity weirdo. I pronounce "they're," "their," and "there" distinctly differently.
ISO isn't even an acronym (or initialism for the pedants). It's just short for "isolated power" and you may as well say that, like nobody says "oh bee pee" or "ess ell gee" out loud. I might accept "eye so" like the word begins, but not "ih so" with a short I and _definitely_ not "eye ess oh".
BABIP is a perfectly pronounceable acronym, why not?
("PAN-cake FLOPS")
No idea why.
Is you from Dixie?
Oddly, I never say "WAR" like the word "war." I always pronounce it as if it rhymed with "are."
Definitely agree. WAR rhymes with are.
Calling it (Civil) War is dumb. War is already something. W(are) is nothing else.
Heh. Nope. Chicagoland area for most of my life, excepting a 10-year sojourn to San Diego.
I want to be back in San Diego.
Plus, it just reminds me of Wor, as in Wizards of Wor.
This is true, but a lot of people make the mistake that this means the American War of 1812. Actually, it's like the Patriotic War of 1812, also known as the French invasion of Russia. If I ever write a book about it the title will be War in Pieces.
You'll still score with the chicks and Bill James (for one) won't know the difference.
