OSR BECMI, how do you say it?

[Sacrosanct]

First, I just noticed when creating this thread, there is no prefix for B/X or BECMI. so I guess OSR is the closest prefix.

Anyway, I heard The Rules Lawyer say today that he pronounced BECMI as "Beck-me". I've always said "B, E , C, M, I" saying each letter. That's how I remember it when it came out.

How do you say it?

Ha! Man, we are all so different lol.

I say it like beckme when referring to set as a whole. But I also sometimes say it like beck'em to refer to my own personal gaming experience, because i only ever actually played BECM, without the I.

Beckme

This, because it's the "Italian" pronunciation and so it's more intuitive to me.

True that.

I always order my coffee D&D style at Starbucks.

I would like a BECMI pumpkin spice latte with eight shots of espresso, hold the pumpkin spice syrup and whipped cream, and sub the milk with oatmilk and put the oatmilk in the drain instead of the cup,

No, not VENTI. BECMI!
