How do you pronounce the store's name?
I was corrected back in 1995 (I remember, I was in Grade 9) when I said "Emm-Eee-Cee". I've been pronouncing it rhyming with Neck ever since.
Is there a correct way? I grew up in Ontario, so maybe that had something to do with it.
What do you call it?
I voted for meck because you just told me that is the right way to say it.
that is the most reatrded thing ever even a retarded would say thats retarded

me too. since i read it on the interweb it must be true.
Being an agoraphobic adrenaline junkie would be pretty convenient, because you could get your rush from just going to the store to get some milk instead of having to jump off a mountain or out of an airplane.
they also call me "balloon"
I know it as both, but pronounce it Emm-Eee-Cee. Always have. I recall some people way back calling it the "co-op" but I think that's when it was just the one store and it was just them and Taiga (or Taiga-works, as I think some called it then).
Do you call BSP "Bisp" or do you call it "Bee-Ess-Pee". MEC stands for Mountain Equipment Co-op, therefore I call is "Emm-Eee-Cee"

No you don't - you call it "Evil supporter of the anti-MTB evil Sierra club evil people" which would be ESOAMESCSP.
em ee cee
and when i say it to non-outdoorsy-athletic people they look at me funny. or maybe they would have looked at me funny anyways :S
Sounds like my friend's wife who while driving past V.A.P. (Vancouver Auto Parts) said she'd never seen a "vap" store before.
Oh ya, and Rewoga is correct.

I know someone who didn't realise that UPS was an acronym and always called it ups. Some people ain't smrt.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.
