How do you pronounce class acronyms?

[pandabearcat]

Hi everyone, I'm kinda bored, so how do you pronounce class acronyms?

Here's what I do:

MRD - merds, or murderers
GLD - gild or glad.
PGL - puggles!
ARC - arcs!
ACN - acorns.
CNJ - cunj, ew
LNC - link
THM - thim, or ththththththmm

And for Jobs!

WAR - this one's boring, just warr
PLD - pal'ds, or plids
MNK - i guess monk, or mnnnnnnnks
BRD - berrrds
SCH - sich, such
SMN - simmmmmmm, summmmm
WHM - whim
DRG - dirgs, or dr. G
BLM - blam!

By the name of the job they represent. For example when I read BLM I read it : Black Mage.

This. They're abbreviations, not acronyms. You wouldn't call dr. smith "durr smith" would you? How do you pronounce Sunset Blvd?

What Kiroh said. Fun idea to try to pronounce them, but I usually just refer to them as what the full name says and only use the abbreviation in conversation at times. I am not fond of abbreviations, myself, unless they are a generally universal one that everyone understands, but I shy away from that because... you never know. If a new player is reading a conversation and it's full of abbreviations... how will they understand anything?

It's easy to be confused by game lingo alone much less abbreviations and what-have-you. Ask the Fighting Game Community. Heh. Oh.. but I rant... I don't pronounce the abbreviations...

BLM... i always thought Bulimics

[pandabearcat]

Haha, yea, I know they represent that actual class, but I thought some of them at least were fun to pronounce in my head.

This is not a serious post !

i dont know anyone who pronounces those abbriviations like they are words. I say the actual job.

I liked the lighthearted nature of it. I'm not going to lie, on occasion I'll pronounce them odd in my head, mostly the same pronunciations you did

What's with all the super serious people around here?
