S-oh.

Just sounds cooler imho. S-ow always reminds me of pigs.
On live it depended on the server, really. Some servers were majority S-ow, some S-oh.

S-ow also. Since it is an acroynm - I just pronounce the first letter of every word as it sounds in that word.

S-pirit
O-f
W-wolf

So yea, S-ow. Actually that is a bunch of BS - I just say S-ow because that was the first thing that came to mind.. kind of like Cow.

I went ahead and used Dictionary.com to help sound things out.

S- Spirit -  [Spir-it]

O- of - [uhv, ov; unstressed uhv or, especially before consonants, uh]

W- Wolf - [woolf]

Cow- [kou]

So then By your logic... It would be S-uh-w- which when you speed it up and say it all together it sounds much more like -S-oh. Not [Sou]

Farmer sow "SEW" their fields.

Let's all debate the pronunciation of an acronym...It's cruise control for cool.
