Title: M O S vs. MOSS pronunciation Post by Croaker on Dec 12th, 2006, 8:06am I've noticed that some people tend to say M O S (saying each letter) and others say Moss (like the plant). What is the most widely-accepted way to say it? I've been saying 'moss' all this time. The same people who say M O S will pronounce MOSFET as moss-fet. |

Title: Re: M O S vs. MOSS pronunciation Post by vivkr on Dec 12th, 2006, 10:57pm Hi Marc, I am not even sure if there is a defined rule for how to pronounce acronyms. I remember there was an article in IEEE Spectrum the last month or the one before. But I think "en-moss" is much easier to pronounce than N M O S. Imagine trying to say L A S E R or U N I C E F ;) Regards Vivek |
Title: Re: M O S vs. MOSS pronunciation Post by Croaker on Dec 13th, 2006, 5:13am The question wasn't about a rule...just wanted to know how most people say it. I agree it would be strange to say N M O S. The say folks who say M O S say en-moss. Weird. |
