I've always wondered...

How do you pronounce the name of this website? Is it "Ecky"? Maybe "Essy"? Anybody know?
Since "Client" and "Community" both use the hard K sound. I always say "EKKIE".

Although Essie rolls off the tongue better.

That's how I usually pronounce it, but never knew if it was right.

I pronounce it with the initials. E.C.C.I.E........I think everyone pronounces it different just like my name.

As for me, I assumed CC represented the consonant sound K as in the word accomplishment.

For those of you who will argue that that is the Italian pronunciation, I'll argue back that there is no 'cc' pronunciation in the english language. So there.

Personally I prefer "Essie", but all of the providers I have chatted with used the hard K, so that's what I adopted. (Again, "Klient Kommunity")

Although, I think, most of us would know what you were referring to if you used any of the several options in conversation.
