How do you pronounce Linux?
- by Xerxes
I'm tired of the old fart at work who keeps coming upto my desk and telling me all about his "years of experience in working with Unix and Lye-nix".
I couldn't vent it out at him because that would be wrong, so I'm going to vent it out here - because obviously (that's the right thing to do...).
Anyway, for all the people that practice in this disgusting behaviour - the pronunciation is.... (Hmmm - anyone know phonetics?) - "Li-nix"
Note: Despite hating him for this - he is otherwise a very nice (but sometimes rather annoying) person.
Now... to formally make this a "question" - Could someone write the phonetics for pronouncing "Linux", and also the notorious "Lye-nix", so I can make a note of it for future ventings?
I think this is right...
L?n?x, NOT L?n?x.
...or perhaps...
L?n?x, NOT L?n?x*
Can someone confirm the correct phonetics? (Listen to Linus on the matter).
