CAO..?

How do you guys pronounce that?

I find myself saying "chao" in my head, like French(?) for good-bye, but at the same time I want to think it is just "C-A-O", just curious what you guys think. The prior doesn't seem right, and the latter is too many syllables.

K....O as in he was KO'ed

Flounder · 07-06-2011, 08:34 AM

Aha! That makes sense.

Actually it is just initials. C.A.O. Cano A. Ozgener founder of the brand.

Bingo - it's just the letters "C - A - O". The company's official name is C.A.O. International Inc., after the initials of the founder, Cano A. Ozgener.

CAO is the founders initials, Cano A Ozgener, so C-A-O is correct.

Oops T.G beat me to it.

Brutus2600 · 07-06-2011, 08:45 AM

I pronounce it bye the letters, C A O, since it's an acronym for the founder Cano A. Ozgener. If somebody came up and asked me about the chow or k-oh I would have no idea what they were talking about

lol

Edit: Got distracted by a user dropping by my cube and by the time I pressed post everybody else had already answered this, rofl.
