Linux -> l-I-nucks or len-eks???
 

Just answer the poll...

The Mother Fuckers name is Linus Torvalds.. The software was named after him. That is an l with a capital I... as in "lie" the fuck down or I kick your ass again... Not len-us as in "len"-gth of my cock is bigger than your pussy can handle.

So stop calling LInux -> Lenex...

nm found it

Reload... polls are written after the post.

im quick.

like rabbit.

you do not realize that Linus Torvalds is pronounced more like "Lynn-is"..... not like the Peanuts character :2 cents:


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".

Right and since you guys don't get to create standards or every fucking plane in the air right now would crash into each other, it is LIE... sorry... We also help you with programming languages too.

check out this sound file that comes in handy here :1orglaugh

Happy new year V_Rocks

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

Hope that helps, Cheers :upsidedow

What lol? Nevermind

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.

Yeah, and fuck the neanderthals and their metric system! :1orglaugh

don't tell me your one of those people that think that Brett Favre is correct in the horrible mispronunciation of his own name :1orglaugh

I think George Bush is correct with Neuclear.

:1orglaugh

I also like when he refers to the Internets...

It's like Linus on X...

I hope you are talking only about the kernel!

If not ... use GNU/Linux please

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.

leenecks

Er, it's a french contraction, for "Le unix".
It's LUH-NICKS.
