Do you say KSP or spell it?

[Robotengineer]

When talking about it to other KSP players and on this forum, Kay Ess Pea. When telling people about KSP, Kerbal Space Program.

Yeah, that one is a pretty even split between people spelling it or saying it as a word.

Most lopsided poll ever.


Me: Kay Ess Pee
Wife: Rockets ("Are you playing Rockets again?")

My 5 year old daughter: "Daddy's playing with Jedediah in that game again... Can I play too?" :cool:

i say Kay Es Pi

[The Space Core]

I typically like to pronounce abbreviations as works as a gimmick. It annoys friends and stuff but I continue to do it. Not with KSP though, that is SACRED.

[Zephyriel]

I actually just call the game "Kerbal", it's not like there's anything else the word could allude to.

[Superfluous J]

I say the letters most of the time. Sometimes I'll say the full name.

[quote name='GregroxMun']I don't like when people call it Kerbal, it just doesn't [I]quite[/I] sound right.[/QUOTE]

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[Stubby]

I call the game "Kerbal" 50% of the time, and spell out "KSP" the other 50%. I can't quite make up my mind.

[Temstar]

Do the Kerbals in game ever use the term Kerbal Space Program?

I see lots of people use "Kerbal Space Program" to refer to the agency that runs the spaceport known as KSC and conduct all the launches but it feels a bit wrong to me. I'm guessing Squad deliberately left out any mention of the space agency's name in game so players have the freedom to call it whatever they want? In that case I'm guess to the Kerbals themselves "Kerbal Space Program" is something similar to "Project Constellation" to us - one of the main overarching space program of their space agency involving multiple vehicles and missions.

The 2 of the default flags do(and by extension the flagpole at KSC unless you change it).

[quote name='One-Way Films'][SIZE=5][FONT=century gothic]I was curious about how people say "KSP". Do you say it or spell it? If you don't get what I mean, let me elaborate;[/FONT][/SIZE]

[B]When you say KSP, you're saying it as a word. I'm sure it sounds something like "Kissp".
When you spell KSP, you say the letters KSP.[/B]

[Brainlord Mesomorph]

I spell out most TLAs.
I say S.Q.L. not "sequal"

[Mipe]

Do I say KSP or spell it?

No, I play it.

[KerbMav]

I usually refer to it as Kerbal, as KSP did not stuck with my friends and then only to communicate what I am doing at the moment - I do not have anyone to talk to about KSP outside this forum sadly. :P

[EditorRUS]

Just like an abbreviation. K as in OK, S as in SCP, P as in pi.

[T-Bouw]

Also in the neither camp.
I pronounce the full name, though I caught myself trying to pronounce it as fast as I can since it's such a long name!

[fairy]

I like to jumble the letters willy nilly. Sometimes I say "S P K" and other times "K P S" or "K S P". However, I never ever say "Kerbal".

[Overland]

Kerbal Train Program.. To pronounce it correctly I shall have to rip out your tongue :p
