[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Pronunciation of 'RDIAS'

Posted: 9/30/2015 2:55:09 PM EDT

In an oral conversation, how do you guys pronounce 'RDIAS'?

I was talking to a dealer, and I always call it a 'registered drop in auto sear'. He pronounced it a (phonetically) a [dee-azz].

Another guy said saying [dee-azz] is incomplete because the written has an 'r', and also if you only call it a drop in sear or [dee-azz], that doesn't specify if the sear is post sample or transferable. This guy calls it a [ruh-dee-azz].

Another guy called it a [are-dee-ass]. This pronunciation seems to be my favorite, as it flows well when spoken.

Lol, funny thread. I do alot of reading and little to no social interaction face to face. I Say "registered drop-in autosear" or "drop in auto sear"
Most non gun enthusiasts won't know what your talking about.
"DIAS" sounds like a hispanic last name
And sayins "Rdias" other than R. D I. A. S. Would be nonsense...but i belive i have heard it tried

LOL!

I do not believe there is an official or "correct" pronunciation.

I just say "AR-diaz". Everyone seems to know what I mean.

I either spell it out like D-I-A-S or say "Drop in Auto Sear" I don't usually bother with the "registered" part.

The same as I spell out A-U-G instead of saying "ougg", or F-A-L not "FAL", or M-P-5 vs. "muph-five", or F-N-C vs "fence"

Probably the german in me that makes me spell out the initials or state what the initials represent.

SU-PRESS-ON , The Original Drop-In Safety Sear.....For some reason, the word "entrapment " always entered my mind when I got to that ad in the back page in the latest Shotgun News when it came in the mail.

This. Anything else is stupid and not likely to be understood.
