Juergen has written the page http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Pronunciation that
explains a bit about how "LyX" is pronounced. We are however missing sound
files that examplify how different people, users and developers, actually
pronounce the word.
Having a slow weekend, are we Christian?
I wish.. catching up on on >1200 posts on various lists is a bit tough...
my eyes are probably square right now. Shouldn't complain though... that's
what you get after two weeks vacation :-)
When geeks can't get dates ...
Sort of true actually, as my girlfriend went off on her own today [*] I've
spent the rest of the day doing mail. Now I'm finally done!
Anyway, I'm certainly a geek since I actually look forward to using the
next 2-3 days trying to fix some wiki-related stuff. Perhaps re-organizing
and/or structuring the FAQ pages. It's been a while since I had time for
hobbies.
The pronounciation bit is pretty interesting though...
I suspect that the sound snippet where Linus Torvalds pronounces "linux"
helped promote linux quite a bit...
It is also interesting how you Americans usually can't hear the difference
between the vowel sound Swedes/Norwegians make when pronouncing "LyX"
compared to eg "licks".
cheers

your significant other and then you can also get some playtime on your
own. In a few days I'll be off to see Vienna and Innsbruck in Austria :-)
Now, let me think... in the US you typically have... what.. two weeks?
;-)
