From article <20874@unix.cis.pitt.edu>, by ern@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Ernest J Obusek):
] How do you say the following terms:
] 
] 	GNU       = "new" like the antelope relative
] 	kludge    = long u, i.e. I do not rhyme it with sludge or fudge
                    (BTW, my cat is named Kludge)
] 	char      = as the first syllable of character, does not rhyme
                    with star, is not an automobile, nor is it burned
] 	soc.misc  = 3 words - soash dot miss(k)
] 	troff     = tee roff (roff rhymes with off)
] 	nroff     = en roff
] 	TeX       = "Hey there Tex, how's your cows doing?"
] 	LaTeX     = the stuff most condoms are made of

Assuming you are taking a poll of some sort...
  I would say your address as
   two zero eight seven four at unix dot see eye ess dot pitt dot edu
(edu = first syllable of education)

The above are the way _I_ say things, the way most people _I_ know say
things...your milage may differ.
