Quote (ASME Y14.5M-1994 section 5.4):

...(the acronyms are pronounced "Fritz" and "Plahtz.")

Is there any way of saying it without sounding drunk though?

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

RE: How do you pronounce PLTZF and FRTZF?

I thought the Standard provided the pronunciation guide.  Am i wrong?

Oops, there it is. I guess I will stop calling it Schlitz and Bratz. Or Hans and Frans...

RE: How do you pronounce PLTZF and FRTZF?

You need to practice your super-sibilance, as ctopher says.

I was using Fritz and Plahtz, but I think in the future I'll use "Schlitz and Blatz" (former Milwaukee beers).

CheckerRon,
These are good tips, however Schlitz is no longer former. They started selling it again this year. I will forward your excellent recommendations to the appropriate Y14 committee. ;)

RE: How do you pronounce PLTZF and FRTZF?

Really, Schlitz is back in production?  I love a good PBR, and my alma mater has many buildings that belonged to the old Blatz brewery in MKE.  Good times!
