I've heard many people say "SNAH". And also "Crih-gee" when referring to
CRJE. Our working days would be far less fun-filled if we couldn't joke
around with acronyms or their pronunciation, inter alia. One of my
favorite things to eat is General TSO's chicken. BALR is pronounced
"bah-ler". STCM and ICM are "Stick-em" and "Ick-em". Two privileged
instructions are "Stands-em" and "Stows-em" (STNSM and STOSM). Then there
are the FIFO, LIFO, WINO (Whenver In, Never Out), and other queueing
algorithms, "well, I'll BDAM", etc. and on and on for all Fridays in the
foreseeable future.

I had an SE many years ago that did say S-N-A as SNAH. Confused me every
time. I've never heard anyone try to say R-J-E as a word. What you you
use,
reggie?
