It sounds silly to try to force something that won't ever happen. Now for something really funny, I used to hear SCSI pronounced "Sexy" on the west coast, and "scuzzy" on the east coast. I think "scuzzy" won out, but I've never hear anyone who knows anything about the protocol SNMP say anything other than the individual letters...
