Honestly, I pronounce it differently and now I'm a bit more paranoid.

It's like when I called LaTeX latex and my friend burst out laughing.

Another hard CS problem dropped: pronouncing project names.

Is it not pronounced /leiteks/?

[–] magikmw@lemm.ee 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Apoarently it's, and forgive my lack of proper notation, la-tech.

[–] Colloidal@programming.dev 2 points 9 hours ago

Nah, I refuse to buckle to this nonsense. I’ll pronounce latex even harder now.

Or people who think nginx is pronounced engine rather than en-jynx...like hijinks 😱

I also thought latex was latex and I tell you what, I have no plan to correct that error. Because it's very clearly not an error. It's latex. I would also accept Le têx in a super french accent :)

Yeah, it's at best enginex.
