A quckie, how do YOU pronounce PICED?

Personally, I say "Pie Said". But I heard a Clipsal rep call it "Picked" the other day.
How do you pronounce it?

 

I would pronounce it pie- said........

How to say it...

Most engineering staff @ CIS call it "Picked". To me its a coke vs pepsi kind of thing , I call it "Pick -ed", probably because im used to using editors for PIC chips . In the end its the same brilliant program to use, no matter what you call it .

 

Well, since it's an editor, the "ed" bit would have to be pronounced that way - "ed". Anything else wouldn't make sense.

So that leaves the "PIC", which I believe is supposed to be "Programmer for Embedded Devices", which if one dared pull a switch or other device apart, one would almost certainly find one or more "PIC" chips inside (which are pronounced like "pick"), I'd vote for "Pick-Ed".

 

It's definitely PIC ED (pick - ed).

 

I have heard it pronounced more than once with a soft c

 

It is officially pronounced "picked". The next most common pronunciation rhymes with "spiced". "pick-ed" is also very common.

 

PIC ED (pick - ed).

Once you have had to refer to the app 100,000 times "pick-ed" tends to emerge as the pronunciation that produces the least amount of strange looks in response.

Maybe it's not the pronunciation of the name, but something strange about me instead

 

PhilH told me it was Pick -ed, and when PhilH speaks I listen!

 

i agree with rossw
PICK-ED

 

Although Darren has from time to time pronounced it -

PICKED, PIE-SED, PISSED, PIC-ID, and PEACED.

It seems that even the author of the software has some MASSIVE problems with the pronunciation of PICED!

 

Hmmm, either, "the author of the software has some MASSIVE problems with the pronunciation of PICED", or, the author of the software has a mind brilliant enough to speak authoritatively on a complex subject and cycle through various pronunciations for a piece of software, as a very slight but intentional go of humour

For those of you out in C-Bus users world, be comfortable in the knowledge that there are some "brilliant minds on the job" !

 

PhilH, it looks like you have something brown on your nose? Could it be...

Remember Phil you're not working for a Government Department anymore!

 

I know the guy who came up with the acronym pretty well, so I asked him Apparently, it was originally conceived as 'Picked', but he concedes 'Pick-ed' is better. So Pick-Ed it is, offically.

 

To date I've always pronounced it PIES - ED
- As in rhyming with "what's the price, Ed?"

During early development, I guess it probably was pronounced with a "R" in it
