it doesn't matter folks. And it's incredibly condescending to those who didn't attend BYU-Provo. FTR, I don't care either way, but I do care about how we treat our brothers and sisters in the church. I think we don't need to be so condescending about it and not make a big deal about it -- however you choose to refer to the school in Provo.

The problem is, when someone says "BYU" the reply is sometimes "which one?"

Should be BYU and BYUII and BYUIII

I propose we just call it 'THE BYU' for the Provo campus. The Ohio St does it,

Of course, when people call Cal UC Berkeley, they usually don't get upset by it.

I only hear people from Idaho or BYU-I grads call it that.
