What if Australia starts a RoHS program?

                Do we then call it SHoR?

Does the pronunciation change for anyone if you put “China” in front?

 

Thanks,

Kaz

I used to be a Roe-Hoss guy, until WEEE came into the picture, now I am a
“Roes” speaker, whether in conjunction with WEEE or not.  Roe-Hoss/WEEE
sounded funny.

I’ve usually heard (and speak) the “breathy” Rose.

 

Best Regards, and Happy Friday!

Interesting responses so far and a couple more suggestions including one
important sample from across the pond.  While I agree this acronym is not
intended to be spoken, I nevertheless do so on a regular basis; as do many
others I know.

 

In an attempt to obtain a pronunciation from a non-emotional resource, I typed
“RoHS,  RoHS, RoHS, RoHS” into a document and had my text-to-speech
program (TTS) interpret.  It pronounced the word “Rose” with what I would
call a breathy sound just before the “s”.  Apparently this was the
machine’s attempt to pronounce the “H” in the acronym.  However, I would
not call this particular TTS an expert, it also pronounced “email” as
“em-e-el” with the emphasis on the middle syllable.

All,

 

“What is the correct way to pronounce the acronym RoHS?”

 

This little question has plagued me for several years and every time I think I
have it right, some professional comes along and says it another way.  So, I
thought I would ask this esteemed group of individuals.  I know of several
variants and there even may be more choices.

 

1)      Those who spell out “R-o-H-S”

2)      Those who say “Roe-Hoss”

3)      Those who say “Rosh”

4)      Those who say “Ross”

 

What is the consensus?

 

Thanks,
