As for impending alerts of spitting coffee or soda: Don't drink and DITL.

Exactly. I pronounce it phonetically.

It depends on how I'm feeling that day really, and/or if the person I'm talking to has seen the site before. If they know the logo than it's probably dittle, if not then D-I-T-L

I remember thinking of this place as 'dittle' the very first time I landed on these shores...

I'm a D-I-T-L man myself...

I alternate between the two, but Dittle is the more common one I use.

Haha, I say Dittle most of the time, sometimes I will pronounce it D-I-T-L, just not usually, mostly if I am talking to someone who isn't on the forum.
