How do you pronounce DAW? I cringe every time I hear someone say "duh" but I'm watching NAMM videos right now and a lot of industry people actually say it like that.

I would have said like 'Paw' but with a 'D'.
I've never actually heard anyone saying it out loud (apart from maybe "Daw! Isn't he/she/it/that cute.") and I don't know what one is.

This is what makes most sense to me. Surely it's an abbreviation and not an actual word?

Look at how many people say PIN Number over PIN
would be like you say if it was D.A.W though wouldnt it?

That is true, although "PIN number" is actually a bit redundant since that would mean "Personal Identification Number number."
But yeah I guess it really just comes down personal preference, just imo pronouncing it like paw (or wow) sounds somewhat stupid
Off I go to the unpopular opinions thread, judging from the responses here

Yeah, I guess in those cases the abbreviated words have been long forgotten (or never publicly known) and the abbreviations have become words themselves. It's quite interesting actually
Edit: I found
this on the subject

Has anyone got a Roomba or seen one in action in, like, a real house?
Kind of tempted as a way to keep dust levels down daily (and hence, my sinuses clearer), but it's a fair bit of wedge if it really is just a toy.
I know, I know... I sh/could just vacuum every day, but that happens far too rarely no matter how much I try to motivate myself. I fucking hate vacuuming.

I read a large review of "robot" vacuumers a few years ago and the conclusion was (iirc) basically that they could assist in keeping your house a bit cleaner on a day-to-day basis but couldn't be used as any kind of substitute for actual vacuuming. They have a hard time cleaning anything but large plain surfaces (corners are the fear of every robot).
I don't know how things have developed since then though, and if you just want to use it as a way to keep dust levels down I could see it as a viable (albeit expensive) option.

You shop at Waitrose, hire a fucking cleaner.
