"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.

That's got to skew the poll results--2 kicks at the same can.

What about Ah-sus?

JJ 3000 · « **Reply #4 on:** September 12, 2011, 04:37:45 PM »

None of the above.

I say ay-zeus.

Opps, I voted wrong, aye sus, but then I re-read your post.

"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?

Always.

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

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.

She probably was using her 333 tablet upside down.

However you choose to pronounce it (I'm with patio), I just set up the system described below(recovery disks,anti-virus,Office,Mbam,Superantispyware, etc.,etc.) for my young grandson. I'm quite sure that he will be quite happy to receive this notebook as a surprise birthday gift. His first PC. No, I didn't buy it for him, but wouldn't take much coaxing for me to keep it.

Well then don't mention this thread to him and I'll bet that later on, (when he gets it up-and-running better than any of us old folk could), and you ask him, "grandson, how do you pronounce the name of your computer?", he'll let us all know!
