"F.I." or "Fee"

[Fancy605]

Okay, so there is a chance this has already been discussed, but I am curious. When you are reading posts, do you pronounce "FI" as initials like "F. I." or do you pronounce it like "Fee" as in the first syllable of the word "fiance?"

 

[Tacori E-ring]

I say f-eye. There has been a thread on this...somewhere!

 

[Circe]

In my head, I spell it out, F.I. ... but I quite like the idea of Fée, as in conte de fées. Then again, I''m a geek who studies fairy tales.

 

[mimzy]

old thread

i pronounce it f-eye!

 

[gailrmv]

I think fee eye. It makes no sense, but that''s how I started thinking of it and haven''t changed!

Neither. I see the abbreviations but in my head I hear the full word(s).

So, ''fiancé/e''.

Me too.

DH is "dear husband" in my head, etc.

 

[zoebartlett]

I read the initials as if I was reading the word itself.

 

[pixley]

I must be totally cluless, 'cause I though FI meant future in-laws.

(so embarrassed)

 

[sugarplum]

it''s "fai" for me (as in wi-FI).

 

[shortee78]

I just convert it mentally and read it as "fiance".

 

[ladypirate]

I read it as fee...the worst part is I''ve accidentally said it out loud that way irl when talking to bf! LOL.
