Not that important I know (though that's never stopped anyone on here) but how do you pronounce SRAM?

Some people say it in one syllable and some say "ess-ram".

Does anyone know which it is?

Does anyone care?

and from the sram website

Q: What does SRAM mean?

R: SRAM is the conglomeration of our founder's [sic] names, Scott, Ray and sAM. The initials provided a simple way to come up with a corporate name that could be trademarked and directly translated into languages other than English. It is not pronounced S-RAM, SchRAM, or SkRAM. Just SRAM.

SRAM definitely isn't Polish... I believe the Polish translation is:

'To do a number two...' or similar 🙂

So I wonder if they sell much in Poland?!
