In 1989, my first year in softball, I had the pleasure of attending a clinic with Bernie Profato as an instructor. I believe at the time he had a role with ASA in umpire development and training. I'm not sure what his role is now.

In our classroom section of the clinic we had a discussion on how to pronounce, spell or yell the words "stike" and "out." He would ask how to spell strike or how to say out. The proper answer was always "Hhaa!"

Since then I have always done this and never had a problem with it.
