    Having a disagreement with folks at work as to whether "Bps" is referred to as "bips" or "beeps"?

    Opinions?

    Wouldn't people just spell it as it is? B-P-S?

    They do. But I've heard folks call them verbally "beeps" and "bips". I was just curious if there was a consensus. But it does not appear there is.

    It's like the pronunciation of "meme" and "gif", I suppose, everyone has their own version. :D

    Google 'bps beeps.'
    Note the number of results.

    Then google 'bps bips.'
    Note and compare the number of results.

    SPOILER ALERT: Beeps wins by a large margin.

    'Beeps' is also defined at Investopedia.com; whereas 'Bips' is not.
