Re: How do you say AAA?
Triple A. The other way just sounds... wrong.

Re: How do you say AAA?
Well I guess kinda like 'lawl,' but with less of a drawl and more of a bright vowel. Pretty much exactly like the "lol" in "lollipop."

But I usually say Triple-A, unless I've actually obtained one, then I blurt out A-A-A, forgetting what I'm supposed to say in pure happiness. Last edited by bacalaoboy; 10-10-2008 at 06:56 PM.. |

Re: How do you say AAA?
I say it 'triple A', but when typing it out, I think it just feels more natural saying 'an' before a vowel. So I usually write 'I got an AAA' out of habit, even though it sounds wrong as a whole.

Re: How do you say AAA?
I used to say I got an "Ay Ay Ay".
But now that I think about it, Triple A or 3 A's sounds a lot more proper.

Re: How do you say AAA?
A
double A triple A quad quint I do this out of habit - ITG. "Guys, I star-star-starred Delirium!" Triple starred, or commonly, tri-starred. It's too chunky as "A-A-A", doesn't roll off your tongue.

Re: How do you say AAA?
Triple A is the way people say it. People who play DDR will slap you if you say EY-EY-EY. End of story.

Re: How do you say AAA?
You are technically supposed to put "an" before AAA, only because it's an acronym standing for "Triple A". But I'm pretty sure you don't actually read the way it's technically spoken. So if you said I got an triple A, that sort of sounds wrong; if you said I got an AAA, that sounds a little more convenient.

Re: How do you say AAA?
Also, anybody in a AAA league will laugh if you said "A-A-A".
"You play baseball?" "Yeah, triple A." It's not just SM talk lolol
