How do you pronounce AMOLED?

I was under the impression and still am that the word AMOLED was pronounced like Ammo-Led. I started working at a Radioshack and while I was trying to explain the Galaxy phone to someone a female co worker came up and started laughing and said "haha it's not AMO-LED it's Amoled" Sounding like ammolled. I'm pretty sure I'm correct, but I didn't say anything to her yet. I wanted a confirmation before I said anything :P Pretty random topic, but she sort of semi embarrassed me in front of a potential sale.

Firstly, who cares??

Secondly, I Googled it and it came up as an acronym. You say it A,M(paused)O,L,E,D.

Not ammo-led or ammolled. If you want to make it a word, pick what you think sounds cooler, and let that girl know she's a loser for trying to one-up you on such a petty topic.

Well, consider the source. Women are known for, aside from birthing children, being notoriously bad in the skill of pronunciation.FragStains

LOL

Who cares? Obviously I do! I'm a sales associates and would love to be giving my potential customers good quality service and information. And my AMMO Led is basically the same as AM-OLED. Basically I was saying that there is a pause I just spelled my pronunciation wrong. She called it amoled as if it were a word.

When all else fails call it an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode. I may or may not have had to go to Wikipedia to find this out.mindstorm

Lol good luck trying to explan that to 99.9% of people that come in lol

It's an acronym. It is actually Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. So it should actually be called that or A-M-O-L-E-D, but saying it as a word sounds better. There's also the Super Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode that is used in the Galaxy S phones. That should be S-A-M-O-L-E-D, but Super AMOLED or SAMOLED sound better.

Uh pretty obvious. I never said what did the acronym stand for. I asked how is it normally pronounced when stated as a word. Not hard to comprehend at all. Just wasn't sure if there was a correct way and if there was if I was correct or she was.
