I pronounce it "Roe-Hoss", but the guys in procurement pronounce it "expen-sive" or "annoy-ing". Program Management reads it yet another way, which is not suitable for reprint here.

So, I thought I would ask this esteemed group of individuals. I know of several variants and there even may be more choices. 1) Those who spell out “R-o-H-S” 2) Those who say “Roe-Hoss” 3) Those who say “Rosh” 4) Those who say “Ross” What is the consensus?
