Better Grumpy than DopeyEveryone I know pronounces .doc file as "dock" file.
.pdf files are always "P. D. F." files. (I know there are some people that pronounce FAQ and SQL as "fack" and "sequel" respectively.)
What about .avi files, do you say "A. V. I." or "avvy"?

I used to pronounce meme as "mehm" until I was told it is "meem."

Now remembering the old telecine ("teli-sini" not "teli-seen") debate.

Chief Architect of Cynical MoralitySQL is definately "sequel", we deal with it on a daily basis.
AVI is A-V-I, but I love Harmy's "avvysynth". Sometimes when you incorporate an acronym into another word, you create a new pronunciation.

Joliet JakeWhat about jpg/jpeg? I say "Jay-Peg"
JEDIT: And let's not forget about "Shonzie".
... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

Yeah, I would never take a pronounceable acronym and continue saying each letter individually after it's been incorporated into a word like avisynth.

The Interweb is a Series of TubesFor me...
Avisynth: A-V-I-synth
CAV: CAV rather than C-A-V
CLV: C-L-V
.DOC: DOCK
FAQ: FACK
JPEG/MPEG/etc.: J-PEG, M-PEG, ...
.PDF: P-D-F
SQL: S-Q-L
Telecine: tele-seen
There's no pattern here. I'm a mess.

Son of the SunsAvi: avvy
.DOC: DOCK
FAQ: FAK (pronounced like FUCK as that's how A is prononunced here, although I don't remember saying it out loud, just thinking it like that)
JPEG/MPEG/etc.: J-P-G, M-P-G, ... (still not used to the extra E)
.PDF: P-D-F
Of course, my pronounciation with these is not as you'd think it in English. If there is a vowel in it I usually think it as one word, like avi, mov, exe etc. Although I hate it when some people say AT-AT as atat, you don't say AT-ST atst. Probably because of the vintage commercials, Kenner got it wrong.
And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

"friggin midgit devil teddy bear"I've always said A-V-I.
I like that AT-AT and atat was brought up. My best childhood friend always called it an atat walker, and I always said AT-AT. We had debates about it, but they never went anywhere and we each continued to say it our own preferred way. He still called them atat walkers.

Magister Pontifex Maximus.jpg are 'Jay Peg' (despite the better half pronouncing the letter J as "Jie"), .mpeg are "Em Peg" and .flc are 'flack' here in the Chateau.
Bizarrely SQL is 'sequel' but MySQL is "My S.Q.L".

Yeah sorry about that. Suddenly the topic turned to Star Wars and I felt compelled.

Ce n'est pas DuracellEnergizerI pronounce Sirius as "sir-eye-us". I know pretty much everyone else pronounces it as "sir-ee-us", but the former sounds cooler.
Not an acronym, I know, but whatever *shrug*.
God doesn't think in terms of black or white - or even shades of gray - but in big, bright, bold hues of blue and orange.
