                                Not IT specific (Louis Pasteur was credited with this quote in 1854) but absolutely applies...

                                "Fortune favors the prepared mind".

                                      Otherwise it is pronounced with an "S" sound.

                                        Otherwise it is pronounced with an "S" sound.

                                        The letter "c" followed by the letters "a", "o", or "u" is typically pronounced as a "hard" c (sounds like "k") such as in the word car, Carolina, curve, course...etc. To make the "c" sound like an "s" when it is followed by the letters "a", "o", or "u", you would typically need a cedilla under the "c". Rare exceptions to this are the common "facade" which was derived from the French word "façade" where the cedilla was eventually removed and pronunciation unchanged.

                                        As with other English rules, this is generally the rule that applies most often, and since this isn't a typical word (acronym really), I believe the general rules would apply. So you could use PEBCAK 🙂
