AIM Question

Posted: 8/2/06 at 11:01pm

So this might seem like the stupidest question:

I live in Toronto where we don't use America Online and therefore AIM.
So now for the stupid question, do you pronounce it A-I-M or aim?

Nah, not that stupid a question. I never really knew, so I said aim the other day, and people laughed at me. Thus, I'm guessing it's A-I-M.

I've always said A-I-M, and it caught me off guard the first time someone said aim because I never thought of it that way since it's an acronym. But really, people do it either way.

I'm far to busy to take the time to separately pronounce all three letters, well that combined with the fact saying A-I-M is... stupid...

I say aim, but when I do some people don't understand what I mean. So I use both.

When I first hear AIM I didn't understand what they meant. I use A-I-M

I use aim. To spell out an acronym is kind of silly when it is already a real word, aim. If it was EPT or some other combination of three letters I would spell it out. But it isn't so I say aim

I've always thought it was pronounced aim, since it's a real word, and what the people at AOL meant for it to be.
