Most inconsequential question ever, but I gotta know...

Ok I know this is stupid, but how do you pronounce "ECCIE?"

Whenever I see the word (and I'm seeing it a lot lately, lol) I never know how to pronounce it in my head. I think I've settled on "X-E" (exxy? whatever), but how are you SUPPOSED to say it?


This is totally dumb and I admit I'm procrastinating b/c I have work to do and I don't feel like doing it, but for real, this question has been nagging at me for a few weeks now, haha.

Everyone says it different honey. I say e.c.c.i.e or "ecky" different depending on what I feel like saying lol

When I first found ECCIE, I used to pronounce it EE-CEE. But anyone I ever spoke to called it EKK-E..... Would be nice to get the OFFICIAL word!

Roflmao .... Thank you Kelly .... I cannot tell you how many times I have started to initiate this very question in a thread.... I've even mentioned it to a couple of ladies that I was going to .....
I say eck' eee
Thank you.... thank you

ECCIE Mission Statement
Welcome to ECCIE.

We're glad you found us. Yes, another alternative here and we truly hope our idea catches on. This is a public board, and for the time being, completely free to join.

ECCIE, pronounced 'ECK-ee', wishes to give you, the hobbyist and provider community, a freely accessible, easy-to-use platform to exchange information and share your thoughts and ideas.

A simple reminder of how to pronounce the board name is that it rhymes with one of the board owners names - BECKY.

Be Careful & Enjoy!

Thanks biomed for clearing that up for us!

What he said... skeeter peter....

I feel like I've just found out a huge secret thanks to Biomed. When I read it I was like "Ooooooohh" Eck-ee that's nice.

Damn !!

All this time I have been pronouncing it "she-kah-go".

'What's your name?'
'Janofsky.'
'How's it spelled?'
'S-m-i-t-h.'
'Wha?'
'They're all silent and never mind...'"

Cheers,
