I've been spelling it out, but my roommate asked me a question about "amcass" today. Which is it?

[Myuu]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone spell it out.😳

I am officially an idiot.

Nah, you're just new at this. We forgive you! 🙂

Amcass, definitely. Save the spelling out for the school names except USUHS (Thanks Myuu). No one says you-cla or jam-see for example.

I would point out USUHS as a notable exception to this.

LOL, as a Michigander, I have to say it's more like Ayym-Cyass

Some say "you-suss," others "you-shuss," and still others "useless." That last one probably stems from a frustration of many of my fellow employees with their library's system for access to journals, though.😳

I don't use any of those. I try not to say anything at all, instead referring to it as "that milmed school down the street."

(Totally kidding!)


(Edit: And really, I don't think it's their library that has the problem, but rather our network...)

 

[BlueElmo]

Am-cass.

 

[Myuu]

Am-cass.

Psst. You already said this!

 

[Omni]

Am-cass.

You're a little bit low on the second a. Make it longer. It should sound like this: "Am-cass"
You were saying it like this: "Am-cass"
See the difference?
Practice with me: "Am-cass"
