Comment on The "i" in Linux and Linus have different pronunciations even when they shouldn't.
7fb2adfb45bafcc01c80@lemmy.world 6 months agoI started back with kernel 0.12 and called it Line-ucks. I still do and people look at me funny, but it’s an old habit and I’m an old dog.
When Linux released his audio file it was already etched into my brain the other way. I do remember being joking that I’m glad his name wasn’t Pinus (like the genus for pine trees) after hearing him say it.
