Is it still supposed to be pronounced like Knuth says when used as part of e.g. LaTeX?

I'm sure there are some words I pronounce correctly somewhere. :-) -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
