同学, 拜托先把自己的学校名字搞搞清楚吧!

<HTML>Official name in English:
University of Ottawa

Official Acronym should be : UO

别老是OU,OU的,自创根本不存在的名字.

人家非UO的这样说也就算了, 连UO的学生也搞错就有点贻笑大方了</HTML>

<HTML>language is to be understood, not to be correct. without creation, it won't even exist. say what we like, what's the big deal?

你简直使我想起了孔乙己

<HTML>别自称"大方"了吧. 无数本地人都在说 ottawa u, ou. 你老在这跳什么劲儿? 治学严谨是好的, 但要分场合. 毕竟语言不是逻辑. 口语更是约定俗成的产物. 争论是ou 还是uo 简直使我想起了孔乙己!</HTML>

Re: 你简直使我想起了孔乙己

<HTML>OU可能是法语名的简称吧</HTML>

Re: 你简直使我想起了孔乙己

<HTML>Both UO and OU are all right.
More formal: UO
More informal: OU</HTML>
