Why do some people get so upset when someone use the term "Sci-Fi"?
I (and many of my friend's) think this is the sensible way to pronounce
SF. Is there some real reason not to use this term, or is this just another one
of those "real fan" things? Flame off. (Clobberin' off?)

It's just one of those "real fan" things. If it bothers you, sometimes
you can get away with it if you pronounce it "skiffy." It's also used
to "discredit" people who write articles on "Sci-Fi" as outsiders who
don't know what they're talking about.
