CAO..?

How do you guys pronounce that?

I find myself saying "chao" in my head, like French(?) for good-bye, but at the same time I want to think it is just "C-A-O", just curious what you guys think. The prior doesn't seem right, and the latter is too many syllables.

K....O as in he was KO'ed

Aha! That makes sense.

Actually it is just initials. C.A.O. Cano A. Ozgener founder of the brand.

Bingo - it's just the letters "C - A - O". The company's official name is C.A.O. International Inc., after the initials of the founder, Cano A. Ozgener.

CAO is the founders initials, Cano A Ozgener, so C-A-O is correct.

Oops T.G beat me to it.

Brutus2600 · 07-06-2011, 09:45 AM

I pronounce it bye the letters, C A O, since it's an acronym for the founder Cano A. Ozgener. If somebody came up and asked me about the chow or k-oh I would have no idea what they were talking about

lol
