I'd relegate LIH-NUKS vs. LEE-NUKS to a dialectal squabble. The ear-burning dichotomy for me involves LYE-NUKS. In the U.S., that pronunciation harks to the Linus of Peanuts. Great for historic American cartooning, not so much for modern international technology.

Not to be confused with http://www.linex.com/ ! I distinctly remember—at least 15 years ago, possibly more—a clip of Linus saying “Hello, my name is Lee-nuss Torvalds and I created Lee-nucks”. But even he bowed to the common perception says “Lih-nucks” now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IfHm6R5le0 (from 2006, no less). Anyway, “Zō-ee”, I shall say it thus evermore! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
