This isn't an abbreviation like SoW. This is an actual word.

That doesn't mean people don't pronounce it differently in different countries. They do.

Thankfully on this occasion the consensus seems to be what I use, "alak-rity" <3 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


Another one threw me today, apparently if you see the name "Warwick" some people across the Atlantic say "wooor-wick", rather than "worrick" as we would in England [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
