How to pronounce ASUS.

Defy Belief · 27 Mar 2013 at 20:13

I also pronounce it how it's spelt.

G-MAN2004 · 27 Mar 2013 at 20:14

A-sus.

I'm a rep for Asus (train retail staff) and I've always said A-Suss and it comes from the end of the word 'Pegasus'. However, they are starting to use the A-Soos pronounciation like in the US to separate it from Acer in the UK.

I've always pronounced it ah-sus untill I worked in Currys for 3 months who told me it was aysus. That was the single computer fact/knowledge I learned there that I either didn't know already or wasn't incorrect. I'm still ashamed that there was even one thing...

As far as I can remember I believe that's pronounced Hop-Hog.

Correct, it is the name of a small town in America somewhere.

Are you pronouncing that 'a' as an American 'a' or an English 'a'?

How does a vowel change like that?

On a somewhat related note I heard a reviewer call animated images G.I.Fs (Jee Eye Effs), I'd always just called them 'Gifs' (like gifts but without the t)

I dunno how to pronounce it but my flat is full of their kit. I always found it pretty good so I keep going back.

Also they pronounce Dacia the car company - dayseeya on top gear but in the advert its "Datcha".

I wonder who's in the right on that one. I'm guessing they wouldn't get it wrong in their own advert though...

I seem to remember there being some joke about it on one of the episodes, could be they are pronouncing it wrong on purpose.

Wikipedia says.

Long vowel in the middle.
