Hi Bob,
This reminds me of a story.
Back in 2000, I was doing an ACF2 to RACF conversion and one of the
customer's people kept saying Ra-Keff (instead of Rack-Eff.)
This REALLY got on my nerves.
As an aside, a former colleague (with a British accent) always says ZOSS
(instead of Zed-Oh-Ess or Zee-Oh-Ess).
(He's not really British.)
Have you ever heard ANYONE say IMZ (instead of Eye-Emm-Ess)?
Regards,
David

I grew up with "doss" and "see-eye-see-ess", but even here in the East I've heard "kicks"
often enough that I can adjust now if that's what the current crowd uses. Actually I think sysprogs say
"kicks" more than application programmers, for some reason.
I've heard "sicks" just once, I believe, but I don't remember where the speaker
was from.
"Rack-eff", of course, so I guess I could excuse either "pee-rack-eff" or
"prack-eff". Dunno what it is, though.
