Pronunciation of the Abbreviation?

[NoBetterName]

Microsoft Sam says cito as Sigh-Toe and CITO as SEE-EYE-TEE-OHH

So, I'm going to use Sigh-Toe for $200 Alex!

[+BoggyWoggy]

Let's change it to an acronym we can all read and say correctly! I've recently begun referring to Poison Oak near caches as "FPO." I'm trying to start a revolution! You know what the "f" stands for.

 

So, now, instead of CITO, let's call it:

PUTWYC- pronounced "put-wick." Pick-Up-Trash-When-You-Cache

[+hairball45]

I'll agree with Mr. Dolphin from an earlier post. (I used to live "acrost' the river from Joisey) I'll go with sit-oh. Cit like in "city", not "site". The Oh is pretty obvious.

hairball

I vote for "sea-toe" as in Cito Gaston, they guy who managed the Toronto Blue Jays from '89 to '97.

That's probably the reason I call it "sea-toe" too. Bye the way, Cito is back managing the Jays again.

Here in Maine, I have only heard it said See-tow. But then again, our cahs ah in ouh dooryahd.

 

Hehehe I am from Portland (big city) Maine and until I met my in-laws I had never heard the word dooryard. Still cracks me up when I see/hear it.

Think about it... how do you pronounce FBI? CIA? NRA? NAACP?

Acronyms don't get pronounced, so spell it out: C-I-T-O. Then... the next closest thing to spelling it out is "Sigh-toe"

 

What about scuba and NASA?

good morning,

my name is Belen and I am student of the school of journalism of the

Spanish newspaper the Country. I am preparing an article about

geocaches and I have put myself in contact with several finders here

in Spain. nevertheless I know little on this practice abroad: How it

began? it does how long? in what countries more it is extended? how

many usuary it has? I would like that somebody could give this

information me, or contact with somebody to that could interview via

email. I wait for its answer; thanks beforehand

What's a "dooryahd"? Here in Mississippi, we have a front yard, side yard, and back yard...

 

Also, we tend to say "SEE-toe"(with a bit more drawl. Like "SEEEEEEEEE-Towww) . I seem to remember reading somewhere on gc.com there was an "offical" announcement of CITO pronunciation, but that was years ago.

We say "scoob-uh and "Nas -uh"

[+KenyonFam5]

I always say:

 

C. Sigh-toe.

Ditto

 

Just learned of it a couple weeks ago but I have always gone with this too....sigh-toe!

[+Puppy Dawg]

Sea-toe

 

But it comes out like "Woof woof woof woof woof woof"

[+CanDMan47]

I've always said sit-toe, but being reminded of Cito Gaston (even though I'm not a fan of his per se), I think see-toe may be more accurate. I don't know if I'll be able to change it, though, because it has burned a spot in my mind as sit-toe

[+LaxRef93]

See-toe

 

although we don't do it as often as we should..

[+stampcoin]

Sigh - toe
