The pronounciation bit is pretty interesting though...

It is also interesting how you Americans usually can't hear the difference
between the vowel sound Swedes/Norwegians make when pronouncing "LyX"
compared to eg "licks".

More like "leeks," eh?


I have always thought it was pronounced leek, as in "latek".
Other  people whom I speak to pronounced it "leeks". Perhaps
my  inclination  is  a borrowed habit from  the  friend  who
introduced  me to LyX back in 2001. Either way, this reminds
me    of   {(Open)SuSE}OR{SUSE}   and   {Linux}OR{GNU/Linux}
controversies,  let  alone  the pronunciation of  Linux  and
SuSE.


Now, let me think... in the US you typically have... what.. two weeks?

Ha! Not when you work for yourself and have to rebuild a business.
