In reference to the Arch User Repository, do you say Ore? Arr? Our? Do you say A U R? Or do you just say the full Arch User Repository?

I have not been initiated into any of this. I'd pronounce it like "aura" without the a, and a longer R

I'd speak it that way to myself.
But when telling others, I just go with the safer "A.U.R.", because almost every time I am speaking, it is to someone who is hearing it the first time.
