Hmmm... well, be afraid, be very afraid because I've memorized pi to the seventieth decimal place and intend to go to 1,000 by the end of Q1 2000. . . Ahh, pi: 3.131592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375 1058209749445923078164 Well that's pi to 70... I could have copied and pasted that, but, why not practice?
The entire debate with the pronounciation of Linux is all really English's (and maybe German's) fault. It's that simple. Even when you try to explain the pronunciation in text, it does not work. Not even if you say something like 'short i' or 'long i.' To different people that means different things. To Americans, and other Native English speakers 'short i' means the i in little and 'long i' means the ie in lie.
Whereas, in Romance languages, 'long i' means the ee in geek. Heck, even speakers of the same language don't agree. The British pronounce things differently than Americans.
Also, grammar and spelling is different. Such as ' quote ' as opposed to American " quote." And colour and theatre as opposed to color and theater.
Case in point: This is all English's fault. I say we rm -rf/English/* right now. It will be the best for all of us. No more confusion. While we're at is let's just cp/Español/*/mnt/thing/backup and then rm -rf/* and then rcp/Español/* / to fix everything else too.
Hasta luego!

Yes, but I believe only 'theatre' is used in the Queen's English.
