[edit] references

This artocle lacks references. Who has critcised ISA's as confusing and who caimed they were for the middle classes?--195.26.238.4 06:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Ironically, ING also calls their savings account the same thing - does this deserve any mention? Krupo 21:04, Sep 5, 2004 (UTC)

There is no irony. The only thing they have which is called an individual savings account (ISA) is a cash ISA exactally as described in the article and most companies call their ISA an ISA (why call a spade anything but a spade?) Dainamo 17:11, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

Is ISA an acronym sounding like "icer" or an initialism eye-es-ay? I ask because of the footnote in American and British English spelling differences#Acronyms and abbreviations, which says The Guardian spells it Isa, which would be unusual for an initialism. jnestorius^(talk) 21:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

-- You read it "icer" rather than I-S-A

Correct. If it would be most unusual to say 'I-S-A' as its use has become so widespread - always "icer"
