Here's another: "DEC" is
"deck" but never "Dee Ee Cee," while "NEC"
DEC (at least the bit I had to deal with) got annoyed if you called them
anything other than 'Digital'.
is never "neck," but "En Ee Cee."
I have been known to call a 5150 an 'Ibum Puck' (all vowels short), but
only to people who I know will understand :-).
Which reminds me of the time I was talking to a friend and said 'I've
just been reparing my 8/e'. He said 'Is that alpha tango or eight echo?'
