Ahhhh. Another one. I'm convinced there is not a single acronym/technical short word I pronounce [in my head] the same way as other people. C'est la Via.

- Retr0id 1y ago... how were you pronouncing PCB?

- the__alchemist 1y agoYou jest, but given this trend, I should have been expecting Pick-Buh or something!
- coryrc 1y agoIt took Brian_K_White's reply before I figured you were talking about "via" and not "PCB" :) (because you put "acronym" before "/short word")
- Brian_K_White 1y agoI say "I went vi-ya this route." Yet I do say vee-ya for the holes in pcbs. So I say the same word both ways at different times. And I guess I say route both ways at different times too now that I mention it.
- OJFord 1y agoIf not Canadian, then I'd guess American with electronics influence from someone (Commonwealthian) who'd always say 'vee', EEVBlog say. (Fwiw route can be correctly pronounced differently in different circumstances: BrE is 'follow that [root] to the woodshop and [rowt] a nice profile on this piece'.)
