[email fragment] Hey, I had a Spanish usage question -- I was just looking at El Pais (Madrid) and they abbreviate Estados Unidos as EE UU -- I'm assuming the doubling is because it's a plural? Anyway, I'm wondering how you would pronounce it if you were reading the abbreviation out loud. Would it be "eh eh ooh ooh"? I kind of like it that way -- sounds like a noise a chimp might make.
