How do you pronounce DIS?

Diz, I met someone at a meet once that called it The D. I. S. I remember thinking that was weird.

Must have been me! :rolleyes1 Again I never really thought about it until this thread, but I always say "The D.I.S" boards, not DIZ or DISS! Guess I'm in the minority! :confused3

I don't think it is weird. I've never heard a podcast or anything, so I figured we all came up with a pronounciation in our heads.

With DIS all in caps, it could be seen as an acronym, which would make it possible to say D.I.S. Some acronyms get pronounced like they are spelled, like DFACS (most people say "D Fax"). Or keep the individual letters, like NAACP (most people say "N double A C P"). It's a collective pronounciation of how it is said most commonly.

However, if the powers that be say it should be DIZ, then it should be DIZ. But, it'll still be DISS in my head. :laughing: :rolleyes1
 
It's still DISS in my head too! I don't think I could ever say the DIZ boards.
