FWIW. When it was written, Ted and I used
pronounced it as “fisk”
(rhymes with “disk”), but F. S. C. K. was always acceptable to my ears.
I admit I smiled one time when I heard some one call it “f-sick” but
that was not considered the proper pronunciation.
I've heard it pronounced as "fuzz-chuck" (!). Me, it's eff-ess-see-kay.
Yeah, that's one's acceptable and as I said above, doesn't bother me.
However, fisk is the 'one true' way ;-) I can see where people came from
often by what they call things.
That said, the program long left the barn and has its own history.
