Just be glad that you don't work for the Department of Public Health and 
Human Services in my state.... or DPHHS.

Someone should have tried to pronounce that one before they renamed the 
agency a few years ago...

Back on topic, or at least semi-on-topic, the way I would pronounce RoHS 
would be based on my opinion of the directive, which may or may not be 
repeatable in mixed company depending on how irritated I am about it at 
any given time.
