I pronounce it "sack" but mostly I say the initials and I do not post it with periods. SAK


Same thing with the GAK or CAK I usually use initials when saying it aloud.


Oh, and welcome to the forum matey. :salute:

I think we should start a movement to pronounce it "sok"  like the "a" in Ducati.  It sounds so much more European... :D

'SAK', to me, sounds like 'sack'.

Although, in Italy, we call it 'coltellino svizzero' (swiss knife) and it's pronounced something like "cawl-tael-ee-naw svee-tze-raw'. Oh god, it's impossible to explain...  :D

That's a good question. The crow's way. :)

By the way, how easier all this would be if we were all around a table, drinking beer (or wine) and having fun?
I'm sure it's going to be a pain in the neck, but whenever MTo has an international meeting, count me in. It's going to be some funny language adventure! :D :)

Oh my god! I was just thinking about that! Of course, in a good way. :)

Let me explain it to the other guys. "Una faccia, una razza" (one face, one race) is a phrase made up by the italian fascist regime during WWII. They came up with it to convince the Greek people that the occupation of their land by the fascists was some kind of a good thing, because we share so much in common. We do, of course, but at that time it was just some stupid propaganda. Today is some kind of a joke, something to laugh about. But its deep meaning (we're all humans, that's what it means to me) it's true.

So, yes, una faccia una razza!  ;)

Here endeth the lesson. Sorry to bother you guys.
