"seek you"?

That's how ICQ was pronounced. I feel very old now.

Wow, today I learned. I never knew icq was meant to be pronounced like that. I literally pronounced each letter with commitment to keep them separated. Hah!

I'm Italian, and we all used to spell the letters as if it was italian: EE-CHEE-COO.

Took me a long time to get the wordplay.
