you do not realize that Linus Torvalds is pronounced more like "Lynn-is"..... not like the Peanuts character


edit: or more like Lee-nus like chupachups says, but not at all like "Lie-nus"

Actually V_rocks - you guys would pronounce Linus as "Lie-nus", but a Swede or Finn would pronounce it "Lee-nus".

Happy new year V_Rocks

it is pronounced as Li-nucks as in "lips" not LI as in "lie"

maybe this will help http://mostlylinux.ca/pronounce/

and an audio version of the motherfucker himself, reciting the name for you
http://www.paul.sladen.org/pronuncia...says-linux.wav

Hope that helps, Cheers

Once again... If we went by your standards we wouldn't have the world using PHP, JAVA, C, etc, etc, etc... We also wouldn't have routers that talk to each other or an Internet... We'd have America and UK net with Australia thrown in for taste... The rest of you would jibber jabber on GOOK-AL and other shit...

Another example for the short bus.


Galileo pronounced gravity, gravità. We don't pronounce it like him because English is kickass and his language wasn't so kickass anymore.

Totally wrong. Small countries adapt to, and invent for, the rest of the world, not the other way around.

Exactly (I'm a Finn). I still pronounce it "the wrong way" though, just easier to go with the way the majority of english speakers pronounce it.
