Computing Pronunciation 101

You know the typesetting program called LaTeX (or more accurately, LATEX)? If you don't, it's ok, just follow me. Well, the correct way to pronounce LaTeX is something like "Lah-tech".

Pronunciation: I usually pronounce it "LAY-tek", though some pronounce it "LAH-tek". In any case, the second syllable is not pronounced "teks". - source

Say: Lah-tech.

Got it? Now, Linux users know LaTeX by a different name. Wanna know what the Linux version is called? teTeX.
