quote (asme y14.5m-1994 section 5.4):
...(the acronyms are pronounced "fritz" and "plahtz.")
is there any way of saying it without sounding drunk though?
kenat, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
i thought the standard provided the pronunciation guide. am i wrong?
um, ringster is my 17 sep 08 11:11 post not clear on this?

oops, there it is. i guess i will stop calling it schlitz and bratz. or hans and frans...
you need to practice your super-sibilance, as ctopher says.
i was using fritz and plahtz, but i think in the future i'll use "schlitz and blatz" (former milwaukee beers).
checkerron,
these are good tips, however schlitz is no longer former. they started selling it again this year. i will forward your excellent recommendations to the appropriate y14 committee. ;)
really, schlitz is back in production? i love a good pbr, and my alma mater has many buildings that belonged to the old blatz brewery in mke. good times!
