I suggest that the "pronounciation guide" is removed as very few people ever say the name like this, and if they do it is usually in a derogatory manner. User:l0st 00:37, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Center on Philanthropy

I suggest someone initiate The Center on Philanthropy article. I'm interested to hear more about it.

Is there a funny way to say the acronym?--BigMac1212 23:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the acronym (IUPUI) is pronounced by many Indy locals as 'EwwiePewie'.

  • I've always heard it referred to as "eww-ee-poo-ee", never heard anyone actually spell out the acronym, and I've only heard the proper name once, in explaining what that funny word referred to. I'd have thought that the pronunciation was common enough to warrant inclusion in the article. --Reverend Loki 19:05, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • In a significant change, the acronym is now referred to as I-Up-You-One.
