[Pastore]

ok, i went into one of my local computer shops today, was talking to one of the associates and noticed a couple of things... for one, he pronounced ASUS (ASOOS), WTF????? and also ABIT (A BITE), wtf again??? anyways, how do you pronounce it? and another thing, why the hell is 64 meg pc66 65 bucks!!!!

ASUS - a sus
ABIT - a bit

 

[prodigy]

I pronounce ASUS as "ahhhh-sooos"

 

[Cretin]

sooooos????????????? HAHAHAHAHA!

It's Asus and Abit, THAT is how they are said!

65 bucks? That's insane, man. It costs $89 (Canadian) for 128MB PC133 here.

Hah, you think that's annoying. A former professor of mine says things like: mo-dam, scud-zi drive, budt-driver, wallll-mart, e-bayzzz.

I say A(long a as in ate)soos too! I wonder how the guys at Asus say it. Who knows for sure, they may say it ahsus or ahsoos, then we'd all be wrong!

 

[urbantechie]

It's

A - Soooooozzze

A - Bit
