Evolution Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 With all of these pronunciation threads...I'm guess that a lot of the members need a little help with their english :laugh: just kidding, but seriously, I think we've have enough of these polls for at least another two years!

TheDreamX Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I used to say "Line-ux" before I heard (get ready for a shock) Bill Gates say "Lin-ux" during a conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snippet1 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 well his name is li-nus (as in line), but I've always thought lin-ux was cooler/more correct 585219296[/snapback] Actually in the audio clip he pronounces his name more 'lean-oos'. I prounounce it Option 2, with a little Aussie slant in that it's more 'icks' and 'ux'. Just laziness tho - probably wouldn't say it like that to anyone who knows more than me on the subject (not bragging - I don't meet many of those - unfortunately).
