Honestly, when you say or type "acin" what is your phonetically preferred way of saying it?
How have you people been pronouncing my name?

Re: How have you people been pronouncing my name?
That's funny because that is exactly how I pronounce it myself. But I was wondering whether some people where treating it as a proper acronym (A.C.I.N) or even pronouncing the c as a k, (a-kin).Originally Posted by Gelatinous Cube

Aikin probaly.
My nickname is a joke I sticked with, a Frag is a kill, agony is dispear. Cool outcome. Use it only here. It's Uberheertje(uber gentleman) or Bokito ergo Sum (you won't get that one) somewhere else.

Re: How have you people been pronouncing my name?
either roughly hey-sin or ah-sin. mostly because I was never sure how to say it.

Re: How have you people been pronouncing my name?
I actually use A.C.I.N in real life conversation but in response to your question, I said it like Cube did. I guess that is down to wording of your specific question.

Re: How have you people been pronouncing my name?
When have you needed to say ACIN in real life conversation?
Re: How have you people been pronouncing my name?
In exchanges with forum members in that environment! Though Secura first addressed you like that, and I think we simply said it like such because of that.

Re: How have you people been pronouncing my name?
It never occurred to me to pronounce it like a name. I either say the letters or the full blown name. "Asin" does have an attractive shortness to it though...

Re: How have you people been pronouncing my name?
Well, you also say DARPA net, not D.A.R.P.A. net.
And Patriot act, not P.A.T.R.I.O.T. act because that is how Americans roll.
And sometimes I roll with them even though I'm a known anti-American (no really, I'm evil!).
The entire purpose of some abbreviations is to make them easier to say and Acin is really easy to say.
Except that I never say it to anyone except myself in my own thoughts when I talk to myself all alone in my evil anti-American lair.
For ATPG I don't say "Aytypig" though, I say A.T.P.G. and what I always wanted to ask, is it coincidence that it abbreviates both Alexander the Pretty Good and Askthepizzaguy? Are they the same? Brothers? Son and daughter? Father and daughter? Mother and son? Cloned twins?

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

Re: How have you people been pronouncing my name?
Well, I thought it was spelt the otherway for a couple of years, so my answer wasn't wrong...

Re: How have you people been pronouncing my name?
a-kin.
'Kin' is the dutch word for "chin".
So, translated to English, you are "a chin", which sounds a bit like "itching".
And now you'll all start scratching.
I blame itching.

I think Andres might be a Westvleteren type.
