I read that, as a rule, people in the Apple world tend to pronounce
SCSI as "sexy" while people in the IBM world say "scuzzy."  From
observation, it appears people in the AT&T world also say "scuzzy."

I think SEXY beats SCUZZY, but I don't want to fight an uphill
battle against a de-facto "standard."  My question is whether this
is in fact a standard (yet).

There are four categories 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B where 1=use "SCUZZY"
2=use "SEXY" and A=prefer "SCUZZY" B=prefer "SEXY."  Please send
me email telling me which of these categories you belong in, and
if your "use" and "prefer" choices aren't the same, please also
indicate whether you believe the "standard" is already too weighty
to oppose successfully.

As usual, if there is sufficient response, I will summarize the
responses and post to the net...  Thanks in advance.
