so how do you say it?

[lindys]

I say P.U.L too :-)

[~Melissa~]

I say PUL as in 'pull'

[Ying]

I say P.U.L
I thought if it stands for Polyu....laminated (see that's why I like abbreviation ), then that's the way to say it.

[Musikat75]

P.U.L. - mainly because it's an abbreviation of Poly Urethane Laminate. But then I am anal

I never considered saying it 'pull', always say P.U.L. because of the abbreviation. But then we say plenty of things as one word that are really abbreviations, like 'laser' etc. It must be more to do with how you were introduced to the word and how your brain works.

I could never say pul as 'pull' because there's only one 'l' and it seems very wrong to me!

[~karen~]

yes it's an abbreviation
i get that
many acronyms out there though (especially in my professional life - nursing)
that i and others shorten to a word
so for those of you who say P U L do you say wahm *wham* or W A H M?
(oh and i don't say pull i say pul - it's shorter faster and a slightly different u sound)

I actually say 'work at home mum' If you were going to say the initials it actually uses more syllables than saying the words IYKWIM.

I say P-U-L, I think because of the abbreviation. I find it sounds weird when others call it Pul or Pull.

I tend to say work ar home mum too, as I think most people have trouble imagining George Michael making nappies :slol

[AliP]

I started out saying P.U.L. but the novacloth girls have got me saying pul now!

[~karen~]

oh i get the trend here
i too say the words (ie poly urethane laminate and work at home mum) to people out of the mcn world
but to people in it i cut it down

a bit like prn (which is P R N)
i'll say prn to people who know what it means
to lay people i say when necessary

thanks all anal and not
hugs
