TARFU: Which makes me think of something else. How do those of you on this forum pronounce the word "Linux"? Do you say "LINN-ux" or do you say "LIE-nux"? It's an interesting question because Linus Torvalds says "LINN-ux". Here's Linus speaking about it in a 16 second clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IfHm6R5le0

johnnygoging: before I knew the right way to pronounce it I used to "lie-nux".
And now you say "LINN-ux" the correct way, right? How long did you say "LIE-nux" before you found out?

I dunno, months to a year or something. once I knew the right way I said it the right way.

I don't care what the guy says, I've always pronounced (and always will pronounce) it "LINN-OOKS", like most native speakers of Romanic languages do, I guess. :P

Lee-nooks.

How you say it doesn't really matter though, what matters is that you use it.
