BOM (BAWM or BEE-OH-EM)
(OP)
Which do you use? First time i ever heard it, it was spelled out as B-O-M so it stuck with me. But I do find people that say BAWM.

I guess if it were in the South, it could be 'bawm', similar to 'dawg'.

On a drawing it's a Part List, in an ERP system or similar it's a BOM.
In many cases they match but in many cases the BOKM is manipulated to suit other factors.
Fair nuff Zdas, let me reprhrase:
"I say it like "Bomb" too, with silent b at the end."

I guess I'm the only one with you, I've always spelled it out.

That creates a huge problem here at Boeing because everything is an acronym. So I'm simply reading letters to myself half the time.
I find most other people try to invent words out of acronyms but it really bugs me because they are adding or subtracting letters that aren't there.
For example, "bomb" has a b at the end and there is no second B in BOM. "boom" has two o's. "Bill of Materials" is correct as is "B-O-M".
Alas, I'm in the minority here and I'm not recommending you do it, but it's what I do.

Their "everything is an acronym" sometimes loses me. They are hard to keepp track.
