True, and I think you would find most Europeans pronouncing that way  
after the name of it's creator.  But most Americans still pronounce it: 
Len~ucks.  An incorrect pronunciation would be: Line~ucks.  Some 
mispronounce it that way due to the close proximity to the Peanuts 
cartoon character, Linus.  I often find myself slipping up and 
pronouncing it that way.  Fortunately, I am usually alone at the time.  
LOL. :-)
