**Dangerosa **and I have these kind of awkward silences in sentences when we have to say MPSIMS. We’ve used M-P-S-I-M-S and empee-sims. In my head, it was something like “mpizums”.
I think I will adopt mip-sims. It’s inaccurate, but scans well in sentences.
Mip-sims
This is so weird, yesterday I was looking at the forum name and wondering if other people said it the same way and I almost started a thread about it. Oooh, spooky.
Mip-simz
Same here, Wile E – just this morning I was thinking “I wonder if I’m pronouncing MPSIMS right when I say ‘empee-SIMS.’ Maybe I should ask or see if it’s been covered before.” Synchronicity, I tells ya!
So anyway, count me as a vote for saying the M-P part as individual letters, followed by “Sims” like the game.
Em Pee Ess Eye Em Ess
I second “empsims”.
me too
agreed.
Yep. Same here.
I wholeheartedly agree with the OP. M-P-Sims is the only right way. And of course, since I say it is, it is. See how easy that was? 
No! Brainiac4! Don’t change your ways! You are the closest to being correct! As I mentioned in the other Thread, it’s:
Muh-Piz-Ums
“M’pizums” also acceptible.
I can’t believe this entire Thread started as a reponse to my use of “Muh-Piz-Ums” in the other Thread, BUT the discussion was started AFTER I left the computer for the day. So here I am, the one with the most important opinion on the topic of all, and I don’t get to chime in until Response #31! Nobody’s even going to see my contribution way down here! How ever will they know how to pronounce it now?
I still can’t think of it as anything other than “Mindless and Pointless Things…” so I’m way off trying to pronounce it.
Years of SimCity 2000 playing have condemned me to always see it as “Miss Sim’s,” on a casual glance. “Mips Sims,” on a good day.
I think of it as if I were referring to a member of Parliament whose name is “Sims”; M. P. Sims. I dunno why, either.
Mip-Sims
Can’t all the “m’pizums” people read? It’s not MPISMS, it’s MPSIMS, which is clearly pronounced “Em Pee Sims”.
count me in for “mip-sims”
FWIW, I pronounce IMHO as IMHOtep (usually in the zombieish intonation of the crowd scene from The Mummy)
Hokey smoke! I unknowingly set off a thread!
In the Pit thread linked to in the OP, post 27, I “ranted” about how that thread had seemingly been hijacked into the present discussion. It was all in fun! Honest! Forgive me, Most Holy Hamsters!
Oh, my opinionation: mip-sims (and I’m ho’, but that’s another story)
Simple – they’ll read the OP. 
Hal Briston is wrong!
The right pronounciation
is mip-sims. So, there!
(So sorry. Yes, I’ll leave now.)
