Sram.
Yeah, it's awkward and ill-considered.

mysterious? Or every time one mentions the company they are supposed
to say S -- R -- A -- M?

In the mirror is works out as Mars and that's easy. Othert than that,
I hear it pronounced "Ess ram" and I don't care so long as the product
works.

Umm, sort of. They say what it means, and they say how *not* to
pronounce it, but as the consonant construction at the beginning of
the word is not used in the English language, there's no precedent for
how it *is* pronounced. Just saying "It's SRAM" isn't much help; to
me, that means "probably ser-am", most likely with the accent on the
second part if any, but it's just conjecture on my part in the absence
of a statement that's adequate.

In the UK we wet ourselves with laughter at the US pronunciation of
"buoy". I can't watch "Crimson Tide" with a straight face.

There must be a booming business for urologists if you in the UK can't laugh
without wetting yourselves.

Maybe that's another expression that never crossed the pond.
Todd Tracy
Maybe the name is unpronounceable, like that symbol Prince changed his
name to a few years ago. So we should say, "The company formerly known
as SACHS."

One of them is 'boy' and the other 'boo-j', right? Which is which?

The letter y is never pronounced "j" in English.

Having been an engineer for 25 years and designed circuit boards with
static-random-access-memory, or static RAM, or SRAM chips, I have
always pronounced the company S-RAM, because that's how we refer to the
memory chips. It seems that I am in the minority, from looking at this
thread.

It's what I did, but the bikey people I know pronounce it as (thanks, post
upthread) Scram-without-the-c, so I started doing that instead. It's handy
to distinguish between the two kinds of sram, at least in speech.

Hmmm ... I just realized that I always say "s-ram" without a second's pause.
And for the very reason you stated: electrical-engineer-speak. :-)

British English is "boy". US English is "boo-ee".
