I remember a couple of friends using DR DOS in the 1980s. There seemed to be a disagreement about whether to pronounce it as /di ɑɹ/ or "doctor". (I realize it was named after a company and not after a doctor, so the former is more etymologically faithful.) Was there a standard among the creators or the user community?

- TMWNN 7mo agoThere is a precedent for "doctor", based on how people pronounced the company's "DR Logo"/"Dr. Logo"
