I usually say it ack-muhlum, or just spell it out. My brother says "alkum".

Personally I pronounce it "Ack! They brought up this god damn topic again! I swear, I'm going to jump soon. Just watch me."

There it is...Ack-mulm. I was just waiting for it...

I pronounce it like the english letters: Aye-see-emel-em. Like Surlent.

Maybe it would be easier to record yourself saying it. I'll probably do that sometime this week.

As MBD, Milly works well. So does Ace.

Otherwise... The best suggestion is (probably) simply to NOT pronounce it. It's not like it comes up outside of the computer that often, anyway.

That is the absolute WORST pronounciation of the word I've ever seen. This is how you pronounce Acmlm... "Milly". Or "Ace" if you prefer. Either pronounciation is acceptable.

I recall Shroomy's pronunciation from a thread years ago: "ack-mill-um."

As for me, I just pronounce the letters. A-C-M-L-M. Which really is the proper way, since Milly himself said that his name is just random letters.

Okay, tougher one: how do you pronounce gnkkwinrrul?

"Ay - Cee -- Em -- El -- Em "

You'd have to ask him.

This reminds me of the controversy over how to pronounce "Linux". There's a sound file on the Internet that solved that.... (not). Linux's creator, Linus Torvalds says:

"Hello, my name is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Linux, Linux".

Maybe we need Acmlm to do the same thing
