I've always said 'ak-row-por-a' but many texts say 'a-crop-or-a' is the correct pronunciation. If you say 'a-crop-or-a' how do you say the short version - acro?

A.) ak-row-por-a
or
B.) a-crop-or-a

I remember the first time I heard A crop or a...I thought dude was just wrong, LOL, had never heard it before! I will say the first guy I heard it from did have an accent...though I will never be able to remember what kind...that was over 10 years ago!

Most people say Acro Pora...I don't know that the folks who say A crop or a HAVE a short version, like Acro...what would it be? A Crop? Would make it sound like you want to climb into an English riding saddle, with your crop and all...

Yeah. Gonna go with STICK! ;)

Great thread :)
