Poll: How do you pronounce NES

[stuntman64]

I hate, HATE it when people say NES or SNES as a word! I don't know, I know it is stupid, but it grates on my nerves for some reason. I don't mind when people say the individual letters, I do it all the time, but THEY ARE NOT WORDS!!! LOL

Pisses me off too.

N.E.S. for me.

N.E.S. for me.

N.E.S. as letters, not as "ness." Also "regular Nintendo," or Nintendo by itself. The Super Nintendo was always the Super Nintendo.

as a word. that goes for the SNES as well.

I pronounce it as N.E.S. and S.N.E.S. as well. When the Super Nintendo came out, I called the NES the "regular Nintendo" or the "original Nintendo". It also bothers me when I hear people pronounce them as words.

It seems like every video I've seen on YouTube has people pronouncing them as words, which is weird because almost everyone that's posted in this thread prefers to pronounce the letters.

i usually call it a nintendo, sometimes i say N-E-S but its a more of a mouthful i think. never say it like a word.

im from michigan.

N.E.S and S.N.E.S  Mainly because that's the way I learned them. Just like I say NASA as one word because that is the way I learned it. Texas.

Yeah for me it was always regular Nintendo, as opposed to the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Nintendo that followed. But now that there's so many Nintendos, N E S seems to best describe it.

I always called it the "Ness" or just "Nintendo".  I'm not exactly stuck on that though as I can sometimes call it by the letters.  I never really called the SNES the "Sness" though, usually was just Super Nintendo.  I'm from Alaska.
