    Yes, but that raises another argument, “lay tex” or “lay tek”… The endless fighting never stops!

        For reference, the German pronunciation, same sound as in hew or human. Knuth says “TeX” is Tau, Epsilon, Chi, and says the Chi is supposed to be the voiceless velar fricative, as in Loch Ness. According to modern Greek phonetics, it can be either, ask an actual Greek how hard the fricative is supposed to be.

      Lay tex.

      Why bother to fit your acronym to latex otherwise. ConTexT is another one. Would be silly otherwise.

      The creator might promote saying tech, but that shouldn’t matter since they Internet ignores the creator of the gif format and swears on ghif instead of the desired jiff…
