How do you pronounce IRO?
 

3-Rensho thread got me thinking.

Seriously. I've heard Ear-Roh, Eye-Are-Oh, Eye-Roh, of course I.R.O, and much more.
For clarification, so there can be a standard, whats the right way?
Especially hearing all about the group buy in real-non-internet conversations...IRO ten different ways gets frustrating. And when people talk about my Jamie Roy, oh man.

Same way as the last thread

really. wow.
i've been saying it all wrong for a long time now.

Tony (the guy who runs IRO) pronounces it Eye-Roh.

better get your smart ass comments in quick!!!

good. if Tony says it then its right. thats how i've been pronouncing all the while, so i feel reassured. I've called Tony in the past but I didn't catch his phone greeting.

yea, why the **** was the last thread locked? an abuse if moderator power if you ask me..

yeah fire away. i don't really think this post needs much dissing but go for it if you like.

i'm still scrollin'!!!111!!

great thanks. yeah i punched this thread in on a whim, i remember that IRO discussion with how to pronounce it now that i've read it again.

piss. i'm a lame forum member.

Yeah, really. It's not like Tony went and changed it or put one of those cute ^ over the O.

IRO is pronounced "San-Rensho".

Ur doin it rong.

Isn't "IRO" Tony's HAM radio or CB (not sure which) handle?

allow me to point out that the thread's purpose was served and the information requested was provided. Then all you scene hornets decided to swarm in and make oh-so-hilarious jokes about nothing. Yay you!
You win at forums!

it is funny to a point.

once a thread turns into what that thread did, it is over. PM any other mod with your complaint. Let us know how it goes.

i'm not even going to explain how i misunderstood that. :rolleyes:

Yeah it's a joke. Also, "Mark V" is pronounced "Mark Vee".

Yeah i found that out a couple days ago... been calling it a mark five for some time now

"Eye-roh"? That's disappointing. I have been saying I R O for the past year.... :o

Relatedly... what is up with the IRO site? It was looking for nice for a while, and now it's falling apart like the Zimbabwean economy.

Eeee-Rheeee-OOhhhh

...but I'm Portuguese....

iro oprah

the clydesdale specific frame

eye-roh is just IRO said really fast w/ a new york accent
