Is wrong in so many ways.

If you pronounce "economics" like "economists", it sounds like a shitty banking startup.

econo-mics™, your one-step shop for budget recording equipment

stop that

I have this same problem, being an econ major made it weirder that I couldnt say economist without thinking really hard first

sounds like it should describe a member of a fringe religious sect, which ... actually yeah?

God dammit.

who DOES that?

same but ecco-nommy

That's the spirit!
