It definitely is not pronounced ‘ks’ (the Greek letter with that -sound doesn’t look remotely like the Latin alphabet ‘X’). -<p/>This curious usage derives from Knuth’s explanation in the TeXbook -that the name comes from the Greek word for ‘art’ or ‘craft’ -(‘<em>techni</em>’), -which is the root of the English word ‘technology’. Knuth’s logo for TeX is -merely the uppercase version of the first three (Greek) letters of the -word, jiggled about a bit; we don’t use that logo (and logos like it) -in this FAQ (see -<a href="FAQ-logos.html">Typesetting TeX-related logos</a>). -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=TeXpronounce">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=TeXpronounce</a> -</body> |
