What do you say when you read XKI?

How do you read it?

Definitely “X K I”. I find saying “10KI” weird, while “10000 Islands” too long (even when I’m only saying it in my head).

To elaborate, I’d prefer all letters (XKI) over a mix of numbers and letters (10KI).

I really expected there to be a majority on 10000 Islands and I thought I was the weird one, the more you know

I see no option for The Ten Thousand Islands, Most Serene Paradise and Center of the Virtual Universe...

I naturally read it as "10 000 Islands", and never write it as "XKI". The only terms I'd ever abbreviate and pronounce differently are those that are a bit longer, like 5'-ATP (adenosine-5'-triphosphate).

I use XKI, but use 10KI or 10000 Islands when I'm welcoming newcomers (who might be more familiar with the latter 2 spellings)

"X-KEY"
