Pronunciation

[Matthew J Long <mjl100z -at- MAIL -dot- ODU -dot- EDU>]

How do you pronounce TECHWR-L?

I was telling my fiance' about this list serv thingy. Her familiarity with
computers and technical communication is growing yet limited, so I had to
do a bit of explaining. It then dawned on me that if I were asking a
fellow tech writer, "do you subscribe to TECHWR-L?", I would probably end
up writing it down or calling it "that technical writing list
server thin" to explain to him/her what I was talking about. My own
theories on the pronunciation are:

TECHWR-L

        TEK WAR MINUS ELL
        TEK WHIRL
        TEK WERE ELL
        TEK RILE

to name a few. I checked the archives and the www.documentation.com
website to try and find something, but found nothing.

I suppose I should ask Eric, the list owner, what he calls it. Anyhow, I
just thought it was an interesting topic.

Let me know what you think.
