I say 'Pull' but then, I read everything as one word
EG: 'LOL' is like the beginning of Lolly not L O L, 'ASAP'
is A-sap, not A S A P

I say;
PUL - as one word (like pull).
WAHM - as "work at home mum" - not abbreviated

I always THINK 'pull' but if I say it out loud I say P.U.L. Possibly because I'm known to have slight grammar nazi tendencies.

Default Re: so how do you say it?

I say P-U-L and it always freaks me out when someone says it pull. My brain stops for a second and goes 'what the??' then recommences

I say wahm as the words, work at home mum.
