Exclamation PCOS Pronounciation

Okay, ladies... something has been bugging me. Do most actually say out the letters "P.C.O.S." or are people like me, and say "pee-coss"...?

Whats the general consensus?

I say P.C.O.S, I've never heard it the other way, and saying the whole thing is just too wordy.

I've only every used the letters. It never occurred to me it could be pronounced "pee-cos" before reading this thread.

Me, too. I've never heard anything but the initials spelled out, so that's what I've always used.

I call it P.C.O.S. It would get on my nerves to hear someone calling it pee-cos. Not to insult anyone who does that, it's just one of my pet peeves. For example, One of the banks we used to do business with where I worked was called K-25. One of my employees always called it K - two -five instead of K - twentyfive like it's meant to be pronounced. It grated on my nerves, but I never said anything. I know that's kind of anal, but I can't help it.
