How do you pronounce "Asus?"
« on: September 12, 2011, 04:34:53 AM »
"sus" as in "Jesus"
"Ay" as in the letter "A" or in "Jay"
"Aye" pronounced like the letter "I"




The local computer store guy pronounces it as Aye-soos. My dad pronounces it Ahck-soos My mom pronounces it Asses. I pronounce it Ay-sus. I have heard random people pronounce it all of the other options.

LOL.  I've wondered about this.  I usually think either Ay-soos or Ay-sus. 

BTW, you your poll lists Ay-soos twice.

    "Aye" pronounced like the letter "I"

    If aye is pronounced like letter I then I vote for ay sus.
    But, since when is "aye" pronounced like the letter "I"?   ???
    But, since when could if follow the directions correctly anyway?  ;D

    Maybe that's why they put me in a special speech class when I was in second grade, although during that hour I was mainly interested in sneeking out of class to snag some of those sugar cubes beside the coffee maker in the teachers lounge.  :-[

    Actually, it is pronounced two ways but I believe it's more commonly pronounced like the letter "I".  Reference: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/aye

    If support teams were always right, this forum wouldn't exist.

      The best version I've ever seen is SNSV... Why?
      Try to read ASUS logo upside down.

      What's the worst - it was invented by a girl who really think it was a computer brand!!

      A-SOOSE sounds rather... um... mentally inferior.
