Well, I pronounce Linux the same way that Linus Torvalds does.  And I find the fact that there is a soundbyte of Linus saying "Hello, this is Linus Torvalds and I pronounce Linux as Linux" really funny.  Eh, as for "Colleen", I pronounce it the second way. As for my own name -- Same as "Karen" but with a T instead of a K. Although at work, nobody seems to listen or hear me right, because I've been called everything from "Pam" "Fern" "Sharon" "Susan" etc..  (I work on a phone... I give up, I don't care what they call me anymore) |

| Call-in.. before Acmlmboard Colleen though, I only knew a guy named Collin. Two l's. That's like twice the penis size. I still stand by "Semi-Colleen" as being the finest halloween costume ever thought up, and I urge you all to go for it. Even if your name isn't Colleen. I know I've said this before, and got overlooked. Bastards. |

| How does everyone pronounce Zem? I pronounce it "old mattress name common to all mattresses on Squornshellous Beta, and in fact everywhere, but also to a wannabe who could never flollop like a mattress even if his life depended on it". | |||

| Colleen: "call-in" (Why would you pronounce it like the punctuation mark?) Zem: "zehm" (rhymes with them) Linux: "lih-nucks" (I used to say "lynucks" until I found out the correct pronunciation) |

Originally posted by Banedon Here's the reasons for why people pronounce Linux the way they pronounce it: "lynucks" - Because the English language tells us to pronounce it that way. "lee-noox" - Because that's the way that guy who made it says it "lih-nucks" - Because everyone else says it that way The first two have decent reasons. I hardly think the third one has a decent reason at all, so I refuse to say it that way. |

| I've heard 'coe-lin' used before, but it's clearly 'call-in'. Look at the word, it ends in a consonant. That means o = 'ahh' and i = 'ih'. If you're going to say 'coe-lin' you may as well say 'coe-line', at least your incorrect grammar will be consistent. As far as Linux, I always used to say 'line-uks' because that's how it looks, but I switched to 'lin-uks' after hearing others say it. Just about everyone says it that way. (Similar to 'anim |
