Thursday, November 12, 2009   At the ODTUG APEXposed conference
in Atlanta this week, a customer asked me to blog about how to
abbreviate and pronounce the abbreviation for Oracle Application
Express. I've seen numerous abbreviations (Apex, ApEx, APPEx,
AppEx, APEX), and I think the lack of a formal abbreviation
lends to the confusion in pronunciation. So here goes:    1.
Whenever an abbreviation is used in informal writing, it's
abbreviated in all uppercase: APEX    2. It's pronounced
(ā'pěks). It's a long 'A' as in 'acorn'.    3. In formal written
materials from Oracle, it is always written as 'Oracle
Application Express' and never abbreviated.  In conversation and
in some presentation materials, you will see the Oracle
Application Express team use the above spelling and
pronunciation.   Dimitri said...  Why not record how you say
APEX and put that on your blog? And it's true a lot of people
use different case and pronounciations.  Joel R. Kallman said...
