Incredibly, that was actually the *intended* pronunciation, as suggested
by Larry Shugart, the inventor of SCSI.

I have hard it said that the pronunciation of SCSI as "scuzzy" is a good

the contrary, I believe the "sexy" pronunciation is a good example of
why marketers should never be allowed to name anything.
