Izhevsk or Izzy

[OHOD]

Do you attempt to pronounce Izhevsk when around other collectors, or do you just use the colloquial Izzy?

I never use Izzy.
Sounds sort of silly, instead I confidently say Izhevsk even if my pronunciation is off mark because nobody will know anyway because they keep saying Izzy.

It's like the Frisco thing. You can tell a lot about people if they care about it.

Agreed

I went with, "Izzy, who cares."
I should I suppose.
When someone calls a Shotgun a "Shotty" or a Magazine a "Clip" I get...unhappy.

[PolishMike]

I say "Izz-bszzz-bzzz-bsh"

Thanks for confirming I can say it correctly . . . But in written form I always goof and end up writing Izzy . . . I should feel shame . . .
