How do you say NimH

The pronunciation of NiCad is easy. It seems we were born with it (not
quite.) But what is usual way of saying the word that represents NiMH
batteries?

No big deal -- just curious.

You ask for Nickel Metal Hydrides

That is the correct pronounciation. Anything else and the clerk might think
you've lost it.

If the batteries were simply called the single word...

"Enayemaich"

....I doubt anyone would feel particularly put out with it's quick,
four-syllable pronunciation.

Oh, wait!!
That IS what they are called!

It's actually quite easy to simply say the letters n...i...m...h together...
= Enayemaich!

We're all happy happy HAPPY!!

Everyone has got it wrong, it is NIMH, National Institute
of Mental Health. There is a 1982 movie, 'The Secret of NIMH'.

I say the letters individually, or Nickel Metal Hydride if I need to clarify.

I haven't heard many people say it but no one ever says:
Nickel Metal "Hydra drides." because "hy drides" (which
is correct) is easier to say.

No, it is four syllables (the complete name is only 6
syllables). Somebody should have figured out a name like
"nai ha," "nai hy," "Nim" or some other obvious 2 syllable
name. How about "Nim Ba" short for nickel metal hydride
battery. Course they aren't batteries so maybe "Nim Cel"
Like,"got any nimsels for my "cam rah." Never hear any one
say "Cam er rah" either.

Ask the Nights who say "NiMH". The Knights who say "Ni" should know where
they live, might need to take a shrubbery with you though...

Except it is Hydrides, not Hydradrides.

>>Never hear any one say "Cam er rah" either.
I've been saying it over and over in my mind, and I think I can hear an
almost imperceptible pause between the "cam" and the "rah", which wouldn't
be there if there were no "e" in the word. Mind you, I'm a Brit with what
most would probably describe as a "BBC accent" so I tend to be rather overly
precise in my pronounciation.

With regard to the original enquiry (how to say NiMh) it depends to some
extent upon the context (ie. how precise you wish to be). Normally I go
with "Nim aitch". In a shop I'd probably say "Metal Hydride", with the
Nickel bit taken as read.

Incidentally, we don't have "clerks" in British shops, we have "assistants",
but that's another matter.

In a camera shop: "Rechargeables" or "Rechargeable batteries".

'Nim' - Silent 'h'. That's the normal way around here anyway
(My geographical location, Not the newsgroup).
