I could understand that. Hell, even I wouldn't want to talk to me.

I admitted to CC the other day that I seldom listen to myself. For some odd reason, she enjoys listening to me ramble on and on...

It's really a fairly straightforward rule... 'cc' is pronounced 'KS'
Usually fashionable pronounciations corrupt the words. Then of course M-W has to include it in their version of what is a dictionary to apparently vindicate the villains who corrupted it in the first place.
Just for shite and giggles Joe... go check "nuclear" at www.m-w.com and listen to all three pronounciations. Yep, you got it... they include 'nukular' since as they put it, "as least one president" pronounces it that way. (Actually Eisenhower popularized it.)

Unbelievable the Merriam's would validate "nucular." That's just wrong.
