I've never known how to pronounce "JNCO". Is it an acronym or an initialism?

J-N-C-O? Joonko? Janko? Jinso?

In New England we said gin-ko. Never saw an ad for them though, so have no idea if we were right!

we said gin-ko

Is that G as in gif or gif?

I see what you did there, and I love it. That said, I also grew up in New England... and everyone I knew pronounced it jin-ko.
