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?
#1re: AIM Question
Posted: 8/2/06 at 11:02pmNah, 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.

Posted: 8/2/06 at 11:02pmI've heard people use both. I say Aim.

Posted: 8/2/06 at 11:11pmI'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.

Posted: 8/2/06 at 11:43pmI usually say A-I-M. Aim sounds wierd to me.

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...
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Posted: 8/3/06 at 3:48amI 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
#17re: AIM Question
Posted: 8/3/06 at 4:14amI've always thought it was pronounced aim, since it's a real word, and what the people at AOL meant for it to be.
