I'm just curious and it doesn't have any importance. Also, english is not my native language. That said:

How do you guys pronounce "UCAS" ?  Like "You See A ess" or "Yukas" ?   

[Overbyte]

I say "YU KASS"

[Stainless Steel Devil Rat]

I say "YU KASS"

I do as well, and never thought there was an alternative.

Although now that the OP mentions it... I kind of like "You See Aay Ess" because it feels like a natural successor to "You Ess Aay" as the UCAS is the successor to the USA.

[Kiirnodel]

I say it both ways depending on the context. Usually emphasizing each letter when I'm being "more official" and treating it like a word (yu-KASS) when speaking quickly and casually.

[PauloAM]

Thanks for all the replies! This was bugging me for some time now, hahahah 

[PauloAM]

What about Focus' plural "Foci" ?

Is it  "Fawcee"? "Fo-Ky" ?

[Stainless Steel Devil Rat]

The plural of "Foh-Kuss" is "Foh-Kye".

[Kiirnodel]

Well, that one isn't a made up word...
From dictionary.com: foci (fō′sī′, fō′kī′)
Both an "S" and a hard "K" sound are acceptable, but in either case it rhymes with "So High"

[Overbyte]

I say "Fo Sye". But yes, both "Fo Sye" and "Fo Kye" are standard (acceptable) pronunciations.

So foci high?

As a red-blooded, natural-born citizen of the "See of Aay Ess," I am gravely offended.

[Skunkheart]

Who kass?  Me kass?  No, YOU kass!

Also, I'm a weirdo ~ I pronounce "foci" FOE-kee.  But that's just cuz I have a degree in Latin and so I pronounce things weird and classically

[Beta]

I'd always said it you-kass, but I think I finally figured out why.  Up here, we often refer to our southern neighbor as the 'you-ess' and 'you-cass' has a similar sound and rhythm to it. 

[Sphinx]

I always spell it out, You-See-Aay-Ess.
