Would you read ATAC as attack or A.T.A.C.? I catch my self saying attack alot. so i was just wondering.

I say it with a LONG vowel "a" and then TAC on the end.  So "attach" would not work for me as it is pronounced with a short vowel sound at the beginning.

Same here, I wonder if anyone says A T A C?
Don't worry, I have a plan.

Right. Every time you say that, I usually do something stupid, like jump in a septic tank.

I pronounce it as Attack, since when you listen to the first letters in each of the words (American Teens Against Crime), the A is pronounced ah-merican teens ah-gainst crime.  So, saying it is Attack, at least to me, sounds proper for ATAC.

What about just A-T-A-C? That makes sense to me! LOL!

Okay, I really don't know how I got this idea, but I now have the impression that it's pronounced "attack". I wouldn't be saying it if I didn't think it had merit from somewhere. I'm guessing I got the idea from Danger Overseas since that's the latest book I read. I just remember reading something and thinking "oh".

So, who really knows...

I was just playing the latest Nancy Drew PC game, The Phantom of Venice, and in the game Joe says ATAC with a long "a". So, unless HerInteractive got it wrong...

Ever since I first heard about ATAC I've called it A-tack not attack

I call it A-Tack too, but for your consideration, chapter 12 of UB #9, Martial Law, is called: 'A New Plan of ATAC', which is obviously a play-on word.
Hmm...

Way to keep the consistency, writers and designers ::)

Well, I myself still see it as A-tac.

I do too, In Nancy Drew Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon, Joe AND Nancy pronounce it A-TACK   (long A)

Rolling his eyes, Joe sat on the window sill and started sawing.
"Thank you, Joe."
