Context:
A story on the newspaper's website said that as part of the probe federal agents have questioned witnesses about the interactions between Menendez, D-N.J., and Florida ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen. The newspaper said the grand jury also issued subpoenas for Melgen's business and financial records. The newspaper cited unidentified people it said were familiar with the probe.
@oristarA,
technically speaking, you pronounce it "Dee Enn Jay".
it describes menendez as being a democrat from new jersey...
I usually say Democrat <pause> New Jersey.
@roger,
But obviously, that's not technically correct, Roger.
@roger,
I sometimes add Democrat
from New Jersey just to make it clear.
@maxdancona,
I do that in conversation, too. If I'm using the whole thing as sort of a title, I leave out the 'from'.
@contrex,
pronouncing the letters ~vs~ what the letters stand for are two totally different things...
@Region Philbis,
What was inappropriate, Region, was your "technically speaking".
What does it even mean? What is an ESLer supposed to do with that?
