"I say Linux (LIN-ux), you say Linux (LI-nux)."
Pronunciation
Artifact
Syndrome occurs when textual communication meets interpersonal communication. Words that can have multiple pronunciations tend to have each and every pronunciation used at one time or another - unless a standard has been set by an authority. Can be observed at any place where
internet users are likely to gather, or in a
business environment where
buzzwords may have multiple pronunciations.
Nothing's more
embarassing than
mispronouncing words you're trying to
impress someone with.
