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.
