OSR BECMI, how do you say it?

[Tonguez]

That's what I call Holmes

I call the Red Box ‘Basic’

Bec-me for the collection

 

[ninjayeti]

I have always heard it pronounced BECK-me.

Maybe we should start referring to B/X as "Bix" for consistency?

 

[Jolly Ruby]

BeeEe-See-Em-Eye. Usually no one understands what I'm talking about and now I know why

 

[Alzrius]

BEE-EE-SEE-EM-AYE.

 

[Lanefan]

"Beck me" is how I read it.

I can't recall ever actually saying it.

I've always pronounced it Beck-me. I'll pronounce BX as Bee-Ex but the 5 letters of BECMI are too many to say each individually.

I totally get it...."Syb-wm"?.....

Don't bring Welsh into this.

Related, one of my favorite comedians, Aisling Clíodhnadh (Aisling Bae) is pronounced "Ashlynn Clean-ah" Lots of extra letters there lol.

Haha, yeah. Using my initials as my username doesn't lead to an easy to read name
