I pronounce it by saying E-V-G-A. Some people I know people who pronounce it EV-GA. How do you pronounce it?

    For me I say Each Letter E V G A
    I have heard that it stands for Excellent VGA's
    Then some say "Eat Very Green Apples" I let you guess who said this.
    EVGA = Extended Video Graphics Adapter/Array

    How is an acronym confusing, lol. That is one thing about the military, that I can not figure out... Everyone wants to make the acronym into a word instead of an abbreviation. It is E-V-G-A as you said.
    Ev-ga... LoL silly kids.

    You would be surprised how many calls we get from people who pronounce it ev-ga.  Eventually you just stop correcting them.  Lol

    "Ev-Gah"  That's funny. I just say it spelled out like most people.
     
    I have also heard "Sata" pronounced 2 different ways.  "Sat-ah", or like rhyming with "Data" from Star Trek like "Say Duh"?

    That's because we work for the government, we try to make everything easier.
