I always pronounced it like #1 where it sounds like, "sew." A buddy of mine always called it, "sow" like the pig. Always thought the second way just sounded wrong.

Why the hell would you pronounce it "so?" Clearly, if the acronym spells a word, you should pronounce it like that word. Let's say there was a buff called Nagafen's Infinite Persuasion or NIP. Would you pronounce this "nipe?" Or would you say "nip" like you should? The right choice is obvious. If you disagree with me you are stupid and ugly.

[Spud]

Because "so" just sounds better. "sow" like the pig sounds so awwwkward

'sow' isn't just one word. It is a verb and a noun, each with very different definitions and pronunciation.

Both ways of saying it are correct.

Without question, #1 or #2. SoW should be pronounced the way "sow" is pronounced. Generally, when acronyms spell out a common word, it is pronounced like that word. The entire point of an acronym is to abbreviate a longer phrase or name into a shorter actual word or letters. As such, it would defy logic to pronounce an acronym differently than how it is spelled when the acronym in question is a well-known, pronounceable word and not merely unpronounceable letters (such as AFK, BRB, etc.).

In other words, ess oh dubya is silly. Oh, and I prefer #2, personally.

Almost 12 years of abbreviating Spirit of the Wolf and it never once occured to me to pronounce it any way other than #1.
pronuncion that rhymes with cow?
Huh. Learn something new everyday.

[formallydickman]

I pronounce it like #2 because sow, when pronounced like #1 (and used like a verb), makes me cringe at the thought of you planting your seed in me when I ask you to SoW me :eek:

It's sow, as in "a mother hog." There is no other way to pronounce it. Pronouncing it sew is wrong. It's not spelled sew, it's spelled sow. End of discussion.

Sow when used as a verb, meaning to plant seeds, is pronounced "so"

Do yourself a favor and press the sound button there and see how they pronounce it.

So given that sow pronounced "so" is the first entry, and it doesn't sound retarded, I think "so" has now been named the official pronunciation.

Everyone get it now?

[astuce999]

I use #1. And not to hijack this thread, but I was wondering if this happens to anyone else.

How do you pronounce WC in your head? Like Western Commons WC.

Most of the time for me it's "we sea", even though it makes no sense at all.

Anyone else do this?

[Squint]

Even though it uses WoW characters it's pretty good.
