yes, i've voted before, so i am well aware :)

we had a few folks who liked to pronounce it "A-T-O-T" but liked it better when they heard the sound of "A-tot," hence the poll :p it's supposed to make you think. you shouldn't vote blindly :)

Besides, what you are really saying in the OP is that you KNOW pretty much most of us say A-T-O-T but you'd like us to change our minds :p

People who pronounce it A-tot are probobly the same ones that turned SATA into a single word

BTW, its A-T-O-T and "serial A-T-A"

perhaps :)

as i said, we were hanging around ESPNzone last week, discussing ATOT stuff like "wtf does FTW mean?' and "how do you pronounce ATOT?"

a bunch of guys were like A T O T, but when they heard A-tot, they liked it better. :p it's all about hanging around a group of people and making informed decisions. ;)

Why pronounce ATOT as A-T-O-T? A-TOT sounds much zippier if you ask me, for reference I say LOL as L-O-L and never understood why people would say it as "lawl", so I'm wierd like that.

I think we should let the poll speak for itself eh folks? ;)

That said, i don't think i've EVER said ATOT outloud to someone...not something any of my mates are into, or my gf. Might say Anandtech forums every once in a while i guess...
