The "official" answer:

That makes it about as clear as mud. Does that mean they are being
mysterious? Or every time one mentions the company they are supposed
to say S -- R -- A -- M?

Somehow IBM flows, SRAM blows.

In the mirror is works out as Mars and that's easy. Othert than that,
I hear it pronounced "Ess ram" and I don't care so long as the product
works.

Umm, sort of. They say what it means, and they say how *not* to
pronounce it, but as the consonant construction at the beginning of
the word is not used in the English language, there's no precedent for
how it *is* pronounced. Just saying "It's SRAM" isn't much help; to
me, that means "probably ser-am", most likely with the accent on the
second part if any, but it's just conjecture on my part in the absence
of a statement that's adequate.

Or that Italian Cam-pagg-know-low? I remember pronouncing the T in Huret

In the UK we wet ourselves with laughter at the US pronunciation of
"buoy". I can't watch "Crimson Tide" with a straight face.

There must be a booming business for urologists if you in the UK can't laugh
without wetting yourselves.

Maybe that's another expression that never crossed the pond.

Maybe the name is unpronounceable, like that symbol Prince changed his
name to a few years ago. So we should say, "The company formerly known
as SACHS."
