As letters. I hate HATE the monsters who pronounce it as a word.

Your and me both. Hell, sometimes I call them Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Nes and Snes sound dirty.

In French, as words is the rather perfect way to pronounce it.

I pronounce ''NES'' like the Ness character from Earthbound.

SNES is spelled exactly the same but with the S before. N.E.S. is such a mouthful, even in English I find.

We also say ''Super Nintendo'' for SNES.

These poll results are trash.

I guarantee you that, 99% of the time, people are NOT saying, "Entertainment System."
