How do you pronounce 'CAC'?

in U.S. Coin Forum

See-Ay-See?
or
Like 'Crack' with no 'r'?

or something else?

It matters if you want to say, e.g.
"If it don't CAC, you can send it back".

p.s.
The CAC is sort of like preschool... you get a gold sticker for doing a good job.

    See-ay-see is how it goes in my head. I don’t know that I’ve ever said it out loud to another person, though, or heard it said.

    I like to use it both ways in different contexts, ex:

    "Im going to send this coin to see-ay-see"

    or

    "I think this coin will get kak'd""

    Maybe we can have a long and pointless CAC thread, not about the merits of the service or sticker, but about how to say it...

    The "Kack" crowd may now have 2 minutes for rebuttal...

    I say kak. Every other person I've heard say it says c-a-c. That does not deter me from saying it how I like however.

    If you want to mock it, "Cack" is better.

    Another hobby? Getting back into the coins is my 'another hobby'.
    I also just started volunteering at a local food bank.
    But you are right... i have no idea what I would do if I retire.
    Good thing (some of the) people on this Forum are (somewhat) tolerant of my peccadillos.
    And I do mix in some 'hardcore coins' topics with my fluff..

    I have used, and heard used, most frequently.... 'kack'.... Occasionally I hear 'C-A-C', however, most people are speech lazy and go with the first option. I wonder what the employees at CAC say?? Cheers, RickO
