tripod Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Seriously, how do you pronounce NAD? Is it an abbreviation... N....A....D or a word of its own "nad"? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBB Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Ooops. Be careful NOZ. You might be punished for using B.A.D. language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOZ Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 OOPS, I'm sorry all, didn't mean any harm. Hee, Hee. Hey, what's wrong with a naked a$$???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Ears -- "NAD" is not a word, it is an acronym. Technically, it's N.A.D. I can't help it that marketing people don't know English. I'm sure the periods were left out so people would say "Nad", instead of "N. A. D." Incidently, John's post was not a joke. "NAD" indeed stands for "New Acoustic Dimension".

BBB Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 That's much better NOZ. Just as long as you are aware you've gotta pay the BIG $$ to use words like that around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripod Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 Damn! Just when I thought it was settled, I come back 2 hours later and you guys have me unsure again. I think that I'll go with N.A.D. I know it's petty, but it always bothers me when people mispronounce things and act as if they know what they're talking about. I think N.A.D. is a little safer than going around referring to nad like I'm some bigshot. Of course, please be assured that I do realize how inconsequential this whole matter is. But hey, if you have a question, ask it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
