Because if you Google "latex", you'll get fetish stuff.

It's not, it's pronounced lah-tekh

I was always told it was pronounced Lah Tek

No it's lay tek

>mfw spics pronounce it "LA TEK"

kek

Holy fuck, I made it through all of grad school without knowing this. I've only seen it written.

I pronounce it Latex because that's how it's spelled. Why the fuck would you make your acronym LaTeX and then not pronounce it like that? Anyone who has an issue with this is a fucking autist and I am happy to annoy them

It's /'latɛx/

The X is supposed to be the Greek Chi.

this is the most pretentious thing i have read today.

we don't have /x/ in english, so people say /k/ instead.

The final letter is chi, not x

It's pronounced Lah-Tech

I checked the Unicode and it's spelled with an X, not [\chi]. See the difference?

if you're writing LaTeX in LaTeX, you use [\latex{}].

However, anyone who actually uses [\latex{}] is an enormously pretentious asshole.

plebs

TeX is pronounced tech but LaTeX is pronounced latex unless you're a pretentious retard.
