[dba-Tech] pronounciation

[Susan Harkins]

Thanks everyone. I was  working on a QA for a book, and the author kept writing "a .iso file" instead of "an .iso file" and the copyeditor let it slide.  

You were helpful! 

Thanks!

In my experience, it has always been said as a word, pronounced as eye-so.

    Hi Susan
    
    Iso can be regarded as a small word like bat and exe and doc. Here we pronounce the I as in International.
    
    It'a bit more difficult with xls and indeed xlsx, while img luckily don't have to be spelled out like you do for omg.

    How do you pronounce .iso? Do you use the letters or a word - I know I say image for an .img file, not i-m-g.
