I'm bugged when people pronounce the name of the one true editor as "ee-macks" rather than the god-given pronounciation of "vee-eye"

I am really bugged when people insist on pronouncing linux "LINE-UX" or
"LINN-UUCKS." They blather on about the nationality of Linus, blah blah blah.
Hello! It's "LIN-UCKS" people. Get it right. (We are in AMERICA in case you
didn't notice.)
Relatedly I never know how to pronounce "char." 1/2 of me wants to say it like
it looks, but the other half argues that char is short for character and should
be pronounced, "care." I donno.
What's up with people calling MySQL, "my sequel." Uh, I think it's "My ess que
ell."
Of course there is always the data problem. For the record, it annoys me if you
say "Dah tuh" instead of "Day tuh"
In fact if you really want to get under my skin, call me up and say, "in my
LINE-UCKS MY SEQUEL DAH TUH base..."-- Michael L Torrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
