.edu: say it or spell it?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

I say most Internet suffixes -- "dot com," "dot org," etc. -- but always spell out .edu -- i.e., "dot e-d-u" instead of ".edu". Yesterday, however, I heard a colleague say "edu" instead of "e-d-u". I need to establish who's right and, based on my long standing admiration of mob rule, have decided to do so with this poll.

Choose!

e-d-u

And Canada's is dot-c-a, not dot-cah. (.ca)

[monolith94]

no, .ca is "dot-kay" silly
I always say . ee dee you regardless

[Asher]

If .ca was "dot-kay" then most people hearing it might assume it meant "dot-k" (duh ). Or .ka. Or whatever
Everyone here says "dot-c-a", and that's what matters.

it should be "Dot Eh?"

[monkspider]

hey, I'm the only one who calls it "dot edu" so far!

[Skanky Burns]

Dot e-d-u dot a-u

I don't think I have ever heard anyone saying dot edu.

[Urban Ranger]

dot e-d-u.

Same thing with .us, .uk (don't think you pronounce it as "ook" ), etc.

[Inverse Icarus]

dot-see-eh?

it's ee dee you

[Dis]

edu as in ubu

[Thrawn05]

it's dot e-d-u



Of course if you are in Canada it would be dot e-d-eh unless you are in Alberta where it would dot edu, unless in calvery where it's "period e-d-u", but only on a tuesday. The rest of the week they say "spot 'eww' - 'dew' - 'you' ",

[Spiffor]

dot edu. You don't say dot Cay-Oh-Em, or Oh-Ar-Gee

[Skanky Burns]

That's because they are one syllable, not two.

[orange]

i'm conf-e-d-used

[Dis]

yeah 2 syllables is just too hard. Saying the letters is 3 syllables.
