well, no. it's pronounced sue-em (or tsue-em, if you buy into Faldage's reading).



Or either that, or tsoom, if you buy into Faldage's reading, one.

I hate to disagree, but tsoom is actually the pronunciation of the heteronym, tsuwm [Hebrew]

Oh, you all make me laugh! You used 11 posts about this. Excuse me,Tsuwm, but what a about a simple anagram of your acronym? Who would know the difference?

But, in the meantime, I would add a little comment here to the effective way people can mess up a topic if they want to.Topics often take sideways,no problem, as most of the time the ones causing them are sensible enough to put them back on trail. I made a clear first post.If you don't feel like 'playing'this thing, why not leave it alone? I mean, I laughed from sheer unbelief.Not really for joy.

What has the fact that you pronounce Tsuwm this way or that to with the subject and what is the use of telling that your name is an anagram,or acronym, when you are unwilling to share it's meaning?
Pronounciation stuff is done on Q&A. I really don't see the point. You don't like it you can leave it.
I write this in public in stead of by PM's, because the anagram thing was just a little try to let know and get to know some harmless things to and from others.
So,I've said it.

Aw Bran, sooner or later someone returns these things to topic. Or sometimes not. If it doesn't return to topic it just means that the audience's attention span . . . oh, a string.

The first theme has been presented, also the second theme, and the first theme has returned - now it's time to proceed to the development.

Variation one: a bigram-acronym - using the initial two letters:

WO rld
FA mous
HU mble
LI ttle
CO untry
DOC tor (add one to grow on at the end)

Next?
