    I pronounce every letter on it's own. A-C-I-N. It is just what I have become used to.

For example: "PVC" (Pronounced just like that), "monty" (instead of Montmorency), "Frags" (amazing how much imaginary time you can save yourself by dropping a syllable or two, even in your head!) and so forth.
    Same here.
    PVC, Frags, Monty, Rhy, Lemur, Pizzaguy, Tosa, TC, theother, Major Robert Dump, HoreTore, Kadagar, Bunny, Prole, Husar, drone, cube, Rick, Greyblades. Kage, Strike, Hooah, Pape, Dawg, Seamus.

    Weird mix of full-names, partial and acronyms...
