It IS a disease for some of us who play it a lot. Then again, I generally think of it as "Hearts of Iron", but would probably pronounce it "H-O-I".

I'm going to say haytch-oh-eye, event though I say hoy.
I get irrationally annoyed when I hear people say h without using a h sound.

Like "herbs"? Here in the US someone might get made fun of for pronouncing that H, as if they're trying to sound British.

FTFY.
Joking aside, I'm just being picky. I understand different places have different pronunciations. It really shouldn't bother me.

I think its pronounced as sung by ACDC in TNT in 1976
tnt watch me explode
tnt HOI HOI HOI
tnt watch me explode
tnt HOI HOI HOI

It never occurred to me to pronounce the acronym until I heard Quill18 call it 'H-oy' like ahoy with the 'a' sound removed.
You can say how you pronounce it, but you don't have to say what it means in Russian.

Well played. I actually just saw some work that claims American English is closer to the original than modern British English, because the nouveau riche in Industrial Revolution England cultivated affectations to their speech to try to distinguish themselves from "commoners." Very funny if true: http://www.livescience.com/33652-americans-brits-accents.html
Could well be true. But I imagined that "hahd wintuh" line coming from someone much lower class in England. Along the lines of "U fink Ur hahd? I'll 'av u m8".
"Hearts of Iron Four"
Unless you want to me to read out the actual abbreviation, in which case it's "Hoy".
