>Ha ha, I got a great idea, I'm going to spell something one way, then tell everybody to pronounce it another way. This is cute and clever, and not just making problems for everybody.

Was Donald Knuth on the Wikipedia committee that decided to use the British spelling of "aluminum"?

>create nice acronym that is spelled like a word

It's pronounced latazi like fugazi

Let’s face it: LaTeX is only good for typesetting equations and not text. Compared to a thesis produced with InDesign, a LaTeX thesis has horrible typography — that’s why you can always tell when something was typeset with it, it always has that slightly odd feeling.
And if you need equations in your document, just typeset them in LaTeX and drop the PDF into your big boy typesetter

>inb4 muh plaintext editing
InDesign, or any typesetting package worth its salt, has Markdown/HTML import workflows. And the syntax for those languages are infinitely better than the verbose shitfest that is TeX.

>inb4 WYSIWYG is bad !!! xD
Documents are meant to be visually consumed. If you really think that trying to programmatically define good typography with thousands of lines of shitty code for every situation is more effective than using visual means to design a visual product then you should off yourself

I dont care about anything you just said. Fact is, if you dont use LaTeX for literally everything, you should not have the audacity to call yourself a scientist, or even a science enthusiast. Also probably kill yourself.

Ecks dee who gives a shiz

No one pronounces it correctly anyway. Hamfisted usage of English phonology isn't actually pronouncing it correctly. Therefore there is no reason to to make such an abnormal adjustment. If you actually pronounced it correctly, or were even able to, then I would engage with your autism. You don't and can't, due to it being a different language, so I refuse.

Whole world uses aluminium and its pronunciation. Get over it. It's not 'British spelling' it's 'world spelling'. Regardless of preference, this is the convention.

InDesign uses LaTeX, you moron

LaTeX more like Le Leddit, am i right faggots. If you use LaTeX instead of Word you are cancer

>Whole world uses aluminium and its pronunciation

choose one

Go back to Arksiv.

you can tell when something is typeset with latex because you're too used to looking at things that look like shit
