How do you pronounce the instant messanging program, AIM? Do you pronounce it AIM, or do you prounounce it as AIM? More information, fine..
Do you prounounce AOL Instant Messager as
1) AIM as in a word, for eg "I AIM to hit the guy in the head" Or "I AIM to keep this".
2) Or do you pronounce it in letters, A I M?
I pronounce it as 1), in a whole word, much better in my opinion.. Yourself?

Yes, go number 1. :>
I guess the reason why most people pronouce AIM as a word instead of an acronym is because, well, it's a word. I mean, you don't go around saying AOL as "Awol".
People who say A.I.M. are wierd.
*glares at Sam* Psst.. Legolas! x3
Hurrah, go number 2. Only us special people can say it that way. XD I pronounce it as letters. A I M sounds a lot better, IMO. I think that saying it as a word is sorta weird. ^^'
.. hey kids, vote for #2! =D
I guess I pronounce it as A. I. M.
I wouldnt think of saying "get on aim now". It would be better if I said "get on A. I. M. now". However, this is online so however others take it is up to themselves - I've never said either before in real life. That's how i'd say it though. If I ask a few people more than half of them wouldn't know what the heck I'm talking about when I say "aim".
Er, I do say A.I.M... but most often I just call it "AOL instant messanger" becuase if I said it any other way, 3/4 of the people in my school would be like "huh?" lol

You missed out one choice. What about weirdos like me who sometimes call it "AOL Instant Messenger"? Hehe, most of the time I call it AIM. I never say A-I-M but sometimes I say AOL Messenger.

I also pronounce it as one word. and so do my two brothers and my sister. We all know what it means, so we keep saying it that way.
Come to think of it, i think i know a couple people from school and work who say it as a word, too.

I pronounce it one word cuz I'm lazy and is much faster than saying 3 to 1.
Well, normally I pronounce the 3 letters in Spahish, which would sound something like Ah Ee Ehmeh. I don't know how I'd pronounce it if I were speaking English. Probably version 1, since that's the most common.

I used to say A.I.M. but my friend just says aim and I picked it up from her. That way's easier anyway.
I pronounce it A.I.M (saying "aim" just seems weird =/ ). I pronounce it really fast tho, so it sounds like one word (ayeyem or something like that O_o) rather than an acronym. Though I don't usually say it out loud so it doesn't really matter =/.
um, i say (1)AIM, cause its quicker to say
and is there a link to this, i have never checked it out, i just use messenger...
and Angel Blossom: i like ur avatar ^_^
I say it as number #1. I never liked referring to it as A.I.M which is why I always stick with #1.
1) There's no excuse for laziness, but I'm working on it!
2) I will live forever or die trying
3) It's only funny until somebody gets hurt...............then it's hilarious
I almost never say either of them... I say A.I.M. a few times, but I've never said AIM as one word. It sounds like you're trying to shoot something o_o;;
I usually just say "talking to people online" because A.I.M. sounds weird and AIM sounds like what I said above.
I say A-I-M, 3 weeks ago at school some kid said "Mirc" and not M-I-R-C. And I was like Mirc? WTF! and i told him it was M I R C ~

I pronounce mirc as a word, actually..
at first i thought it was "AIM" but then i found out that it stood for "AOL Instant Messenger" so i called it "A-I-M"
Its all about number 2!
