locked How Do You Pronounce Groups.io?

How do you pronounce groups.io? And is there an official spelling of it in terms of what should be capitalized (GROUPS.IO vs Groups.io)?

Heh, I was wondering when someone would ask that. Actually, I don't know. It could be groups eye oh. Or maybe groups eee oh. Or maybe something else. What do you all think? I think just normal capitalization. I started with the idea that it'd be all caps, GROUPS.IO, but decided that was a bit too ostentatious. Mark

Hi, "groups dot eye oh" works for me, spelled Groups.io - unless it's a headline (GROUPS.IO). Linda

whofanvidme,
How do you pronounce groups.io?Hmm... I've been saying "Groups dot eye oh", which is sometimes a mouthful. With time (and in context) just "Groups" will work. On the silly side, we could shorten it to "Grio" rhymes with Rio (de Janeiro). ;-) -- Shal Time catches up with us all, Doctor. "Well it has never laid a glove on me."

Mark,
It could be groups eye oh. Or maybe groups eee oh. Or maybe somethingOf those I'd choose "groups eye oh" - "groups eee oh" sounds a little too Italiano to me, or too much like like the diminutive "oopsy-oh". -- Shal

I've been reading it in my head "groups eye oh." That's easy. I'd stick with that. -Bruce _______________________________________________ Bruce Colglazier Pappas Email: bruce@...

I did look up where the IO domain is, and it's the British Indian Ocean Territory (Diego Garcia &c). I was beginning to wonder if the server was somewhere near Jupiter! -- rgds LAurence

Being used to yahoogroups and googlegroups, I until now assumed it would be called "iogroups" ("io" being the esperanto-word for "something").
Maybe you could find a name that's easier to remember, something catchy.. groetjes, Ronaldo -- http://www.esperanto.net http://www.moneyasdebt.net

I guess I was unconcious in a bit of a deep comma to have missed this. I have been aware of Borge's exploits in the world of classical music, but this venture escaped me. Thanks for the link. It was a very good period piece without question and should make its mark in the world of grammar exposition and you can quote me on this.
