**a35362** : most people pronounce it ACE\*\*-or-on\*\* but my preferred pronunciation, when spelled out fully, is A\*\*-sear-on\*\*. The common shortening, **Aes** , is just Ace though. And I’m doing well, thanks for asking. I’m about two-thirds of my way through recovery and should be able to work again come May or June.
