Even in the Land of Proper English we 'deck,' for the most part. One of my old

Hi All,
I've just been watching the TLC show about Hackers and Phone Freakers.
I don't work in the computer industry, so I don't hear many pronunciations.
Do you pronounce DEC as "Dee Eee Cee" or as "deck"? I've always
called
it "deck".
I've never heard anything but "deck". Of course, I live in Texas,
where proper English is a counter-survival trait.
