Linux folks have had to deal with three pronounciations. Your torment will subside. - Evan I'm guilty of being a Lye-Nucks pronouncer. It always sounded awkward
any other way until I heard some German friends pronounce Lee-Nooks and then it sounded OK, at least coming from them. For years, when I was a lone Asterisk user and before I met any others, I pronounced IAX as Eye-Axe (which is the same as Eye-Ask for some people but let's not get started). Then I met Mark Spencer and he kept saying 'eeks'. At first I didn't even know what he was talking about. I fell in love with my Eye-Axe pronunciation so I still use it when I'm talking to myself. I think I'll be OK until this happens: "New from Apple: want to chop down a tree in style? Get the iAxe." BTW Reza, I feel your pain. I think that some of us feel actual physical discomfort when someone tweaks one of those pet peeve words. I'm as guilty as the next. I'm sure I've made a few people wish for rapid onset deafness. Until deafness sets in, I guess all we can do is take a deep breath and try to sleep on it like Thomas says. DD PS Jim, the next time he gets you wound up with Norstar/BCM discussions, you just ask him how his Azz-trix systems are doing.
