I always find that funny. If you have to provide a pronunciation guide for your product, perhaps consider a different name. I guarantee you’ll still have people pronouncing each individual letter, either because they don’t know or because it’ll be less ambiguous.

For the first half of the 90's I pronounced Linux as "LINE-nucks". Then while he still had a thick accent, Linus told us all how he pronounced it "LEE-nooks".
