[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad was ROTC. He never uses "rotsy" and always says the individual letters. One of my dad's best friends also was ROTC. The two achieved notably high ranks in their branches of service, which is pretty much unheard of since there is (used to be?) a significant bias in favor of academy graduates. The friend and his children also always use the individual letters when they discuss ROTC. I don't mean to be unkind but in our collective experiences, we think of "rotsy" as slang and that someone who uses "rotsy" is trying to be the hipster cool kid. Others may have different experiences.[/quote] Same. My dad was an ROTC professor and neither he nor his fellow ROTC officers ever said “rotsie.” I heard someone do it once and asked him about it and his was dismissive but didn’t say why. It could be regional or branch specific (my dad was army). [/quote] Exactly ditto for me. [/quote]
