January 9, 201214 yr I guess it depends on who answers that question.It often is so with words created as acronyms or any other abbreviations and word mixtures.For me it is a natural mixture of English and Polish.I have always (and will always) thought about it as ['af-seem]A similar question could be asked about VATSIM, IVAO, AES, etc.

January 10, 201214 yr I don't. There's no 'V' in Welsh. :)(Where's the plain Smiley?) Edited January 10, 201214 yr by Dave_Morgan

January 11, 201214 yr I don't. There's no 'V' in Welsh. :)(Where's the plain Smiley?)Maybe they could call it 'Afsim' for Wales, which would at least bring the pronunciation more in line with English :smile:Totally OT, but, noting your avatar and Galanthus reference, are they out in your neck of the woods yet? They aren't around here (north Cumbria) yet, although they self-seed prolifically. Got a primrose in flower though, strangely.That's it for Gardeners' Question Time. :(
January 11, 201214 yr Hi.Diego. You have better eyes than I do!Raindance, not yet though their leaves, and those of Narcissus spp. had already sprouted by Christmas day. Someone told me last week that they found trees with white blossom in Shrewsbury but couldn't tell me what species; I haven't been there for a month or so. I'm longing for primroses.Cheers,D
January 11, 201214 yr I've always thought it as one word like "have" without the 'h'. "AVE""SIM". In my mind, A-V Sim would be written with a space or a dash, like "AV-SIM/AV SIM". In the world of internets though, that would be less than ideal.So, despite my own proclivity , I think A-V Sim is the way it's "supposed" to be pronounced.
