| Poll: How do you pronounce NES |

Do you say it as if it is a word? Much like one pronounces NASA. Do you say the letters? Much like one pronounces NRA. Or do you call it something different? Do you go super old school and just straight up call it the Nintendo? Personally, I have always called it the "regular Nintendo". I started this as a kid. I got mine in 1993 (top-loader, boy!). So, there was the "super" Nintendo. I didn't have that. I had the "regular" Nintendo. However, lately, I've been transitioning to saying it in the NASA acronym style. I often say "NEZZ". I blame the brits on youtube. (I've also caught myself saying "Atari Jag-you-are". It's embarrassing. ) EDIT: Also list where you lived at the time of the NES. I'm curious if this is based on Geography. Like soda vs pop. Arkansas for me. |

At the time it was my "Nintendo". Then it was the "Regular Nintendo". Then I moved on to "The 8-bit'er". Now days, I flop between Nes (The Word) and N.E.S. I'm born and raised in Arkansas. |

I always have and still do spell it out. Same for SNES. It never occurred to me to say it as a word and I was flabbergasted by the frequency of that pronunciation on youtube. I have become accustomed to hearing it that way now (same with shmup), but even though I am used to it, I don't intend to change. Oh, Missouri. |

SNES as a word makes me cringe. S. N. E. S. or Super Nintendo. I'll even settle for "Super". |
