*Firstly, it’s pronounced “'''[[sw-ŏp]]'''” (to rhyme with chop), but it’s spelled “swap”. Any fan of 1970s children's television will know this. It is not, however, true that {{tag|Noel Edmonds}} was a pioneering derivative salesman, but that would make a great play. On no account should you say “'''[[sw-æp]]'''” (to rhyme with “crap”), unless you want derivatives insiders to dine out on your misfortune for many years. I still tell people about an unfortunate partner of Stephenson Harwood who made this mistake in 1997. | *Firstly, it’s pronounced “'''[[sw-ŏp]]'''” (to rhyme with chop), but it’s spelled “swap”.

*Secondly, when articulating the word {{ISDA}} you say “'''[[izder]]'''”, not “'''[[eye-ess-dee-aye]]'''”. This was a closely guarded industry in-joke, designed to reveal ingénues, but sadly the spoil-sport makers of ''The Big Short''<ref>{{google3|The|Big|Short}}.</ref> have rumbled it. | *Secondly, when articulating the word {{ISDA}} you say “'''[[izder]]'''”, not “'''[[eye-ess-dee-aye]]'''”.
