How do you pronounce NEC?

[StrangerGuy]

By teh letters.

 

[HN]

dude, seriously, you should say "neck" and see if anyone calls you out on it.

 

[letdown427]

It is blatantly NEC, as in, N . E . C as people have said. I wasn't aware anyone wa enough of an @$$ to actually say neck. now, sata, that's a whole different matter, saarta

 

[Colt45]

when talking to other humans, N E C. When talking to myself, neck. lol

 

[narcotic]

"neck". No body I know says "N.E.C" or any other combo.

 

[Vegitto]

Neck. And I pronounce 'sata' like the Dutch pronounce 'Satan' (not like you Americans do, you say Saet'n ).

 

[Continuity28]

It's N. E. C., anything else is wrong either due to ignorance or being stubborn.

syllabic laziness FTW

N.E.C.

I've never heard anyone say "NECk".. I'd have to laugh if I heard that.

 

[tfinch2]

If someone came up to me and said "neck", I'd have no idea what they were talking about.

Ive been saying "NECk" since the 1983 release of Return of the Jedi. During the bar scene, a two foot alien is at the mic singing what sounded like "Lapti-Nec! Lapti-Nec said nothing...".

I dont remember if those words were audible enough in the movie, but they released a music video of it on MTV in 1983 to promote the movie and the words have been seared into my brain for TWENTY THREE YEARS NOW!! :laugh:

Say the letters, N.E.C.

necro blepus?

I hear NEC pronounced both ways, but I would say the proper way is N-E-C. SATA on the other hand, I don't think I've ever anyone call it Serial A-T-A, except for my boss before he realized that SATA and Serial ATA were the same thing.

 

[Brazen]

And the proper way for pronouncing SQL is S-Q-L, not SeQueL as I hear a lot of people say it.

 

[Juno]

just go with N.E.C.

Your roommate is an idiot. It is N E C.

Six syllables instead of two. "Sa-ter" is a lot easier to say.

It's option 1... come on use your common sense.
