Is it Sram or S-ram?

In reply to The New NickB:

It's pronounced like Mars, backwards.

In reply to The New NickB:
Schram seems to be the common way of saying it

In reply to Clauso:

Backwards doesn't sound right for either word, I'm confused!

In reply to The New NickB:

Schramm

In reply to The New NickB: Having worked in the industry, I have come across three ways;
With the S pronounced like 'snake'.
With the S pronounced like 'sheep'.
Like an initial, S-Ram.

Personally I go with the first as its the way the distributor says it but then they could be wrong.....

In reply to The New NickB:

sh-i-m-an-o

easy.

In reply to The New NickB:

Well I wouldn't be asking anyone Polish

In reply to The New NickB: I spent 22 years doing IC design including some SRAM and always referred to it as S-ram

In reply to The New NickB:

Here in the US, it's the "snake" version of the 's' sound. Only time I ever hear the 'sh' version is from Paul Sherwen and Phil Liggett during their race coverage.

Here's a nice vid for you on it:

In reply to The New NickB: just like saying Campagnolo with an Italian accent and Shimano you say with a Japanese accent then you say SRAM with an american accent......

In reply to gear boy:
Or a South African accent
