Forgive me for this admittedly anal question, but I got to
wondering after reading all these "Linux is pronounced..."
threads.
How is "POV-Ray" officially pronounced? Is it "PAHV-ray"
(as I've always thought of it), "PEE-OH-VEE-ray", or
something else?
Is there even an "official" pronunciation? Is this a
question for the Team?

I don't think there is an "official" pronunciation; if there is, it wasn't told
to me during the complex, excruciatingly painful, arcane, and humiliating
initiation ritual. The single-syllable pronunciation seems to be winning, but
there are a few bastions of sanity where it's pronounced as three letters.

Is that the initiation ritual where they said " Hi Ron, welcome to the
POV -Team" ?

If your sanity is to prevail then you should represent it as P.O.V.-Ray.
otherwise the single-syllable pronunciation will win out.

Yeah, that's the one. Bone-chilling, isn't it?

I have always understood that "POV" was always spelled out. I've
corrected people who have pronounced it as one word. I imagine that
there are more common computing terms that are not pronounced as one
word than those that are. We say "M-B" or "Megabyte" instead of "mib"
but we do say "basic" instead of "beginners all-purose symbolic
instruction code" or whatever it stands for.
