Maybe his stripes are too tight or he might need to adjust his rabbit ears to improve the signal, so we can understand him

For some reason I can imagine someone going full WALL-E and trying to pronounce it in the same manner that he tried to pronounce Eve's name.

We get some great ones on calls, and it isn't just our name. Navidia, Nivea, tri sly, geoforce, probably a few more I've forgotten.

LOL I'm guessing that customers are all over the place as far as knowledge. If they don't even know what the product is to begin with I'd not be surprised if sometimes you get calls for products you're not even selling.

I think it stands for E-VGA, EVGA-Video Graphics Adapter. I remember they labeled all their cards e-Geforce.

I'm old enough to remember the lower case e, and I still use it.
To me it's eVGA..and always will be.

As X-Ray has given me permission to necro this thread by locking my other one and linking to this :P I pronounce it "E-V-G-A" as well, and yes I remember the small e and capitals to follow as well.

Its pronounced "Good friend", especially in this mining age.
Or each letter EVGA.

So it's not thread necromancy, but thread resurrection. I-m still saying Ee-Vee-Gee-A, but maybe I should try something new, like move each letter back one, for Eff-doubleU-ach-Bee or FWHB, that won't confuse people, right?

Sad when TEAMEVGA raid someone at the end of a stream, and that someone sees 1,000+ new viewers suddenly arrive, and they call it ev-gah. Facepalm moment.

I think you missed the "NOT" in there. Kind of a double negative - I had to read it twice the first time lol.
