dmiessler.com | grep understanding: There’s Only One Way to Pronounce Linux

  • Joe · 11 months ago
    I take the source code of linux and change some things and make it pronounced, "lynux"

    therefore I pronounce it "lynux" and it's perfectly O.K.

    End of debate.

    Maybe I haven't been in the industry long enough (only 6 years) but can't recall having heard it pronounced any way other than the way Linus did. Do you commonly hear it being mispronounced?

    It's pronounced "bollocks".

    (It's also spelled "bollocks".)
