[David King]

Psi is pronounced like the word "sigh", the P is silent, as in psychotic or psoriasis. It is a word which means "Parapsychological phenomena or abilities considered as a group" according to dictionary.com, also "The 23rd letter of the Greek alphabet", as well as the abbreviation for pounds per square inch. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=psi David Bill Hooper wrote: On 2004 Jul 22 , at 9:37 PM, Bill Potts wrote: P.S.I., or PSI, is not an acronym. To be an acronym, it must be pronounceable; otherwise it's just an abbreviation. Potts is right. I stand corrected. Thanks.
