Title: Ponder at you leisure

Tim,

My own preference is not to pronounce the acronym SOA but spell it out S-O-A instead. I experienced a situation where pronouncing So-Uh was misunderstood until I spelled it out.

Subject: [soa-rm-ra] Ponder at you leisure

All,
        A colleague made a comment on the pronunciation of the acronym "SOA".  They were concerned that when a casual listener overhears someone the subject that often times people pronounce SOA as "So-Uh" which may give a false sense of comprehension of the subject.  Wanted to get some outside opinions on this.
