I said "see-eye-see-ess" for years, and still do as a matter of habit. In the US I sometimes but rarely hear "kicks". But recently I've heard "kicks" more often, and try to remember to say it that way too at installations where it seems to be the norm. It doesn't come naturally though.

In my experience, Americans mostly say "see-eye-see-ess"; Brits say "kicks"; Canadians are a mixture; and Italians say "cheeks" (which makes perfect sense, following Italian pronunciation rules). If your native language isn't English, how do YOU say it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
