Really nothing to say about this article... but the "ag" abbreviation is strangely disturbing. Do people pronounce that in speech? If so, how?

- kickout 6y agoIt is a weird abbreviation. Laziness precludes me from typing agriculture too much.
- JumpCrisscross 6y ago> Do people pronounce that in speech? I've heard it frequently in politics. (It's also an acceptable Scrabble word.) Pronounced the same way it is in the word agriculture.
- JJMcJ 6y agoChapter in a James Bond book "The Man From Ag And Fish", that is the Agriculture and Fisheries Ministry.
- derwiki 6y agoWhat makes you say it’s disturbing? Having grown up near several Ag colleges, I never questioned it.
- enriquto 6y agoI cannot avoid reading it as silver (the chemical element), especially when the first letter is uppercase. I had a hard time understanding some sentences of the article due to that. My mind just refuses to parse "ag" as "agriculture". It's just that I'm not used to it. EDIT: In your case, I cannot help to think about your colleges as very shiny, kitsch buildings.
- 9OzUIvDwF4LvfUM 6y agoIt is pronounced the same way as the beginning of agriculture. /æɡ/
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoYes farmers say it in speech. Pronounced ag. Like the first syllable of agriculture.
