I'd love to injure every person who attempts to pronounce an acronym, or pronounces one.

Hey, fuck you, alright?
Many acronyms have official pronunciations: GUI is "gooey;" LASER is "layzer;" RAM is "ram;" LED is sometimes "lead;" SPS (designates a surface ship mounted radar for surface search) is "spiz;" etc.
but yeah, fail on CIS part.

an error code is miles better than a bunch of "soothing" bs. at least it gives you something to google.

Instead of giving the error code to us, it should USE the error code to look up what the problem was, as well as link to solutions for fixing it.
