The important thing is that your audience understand you.



There's been discussion on how to pronounce "Linux." I say copying Linus 
is wrong; we don't pronounce Linus the way he does, it makes more sense 
to pronounce Linux like we pronounce Linus:-)

fwiw I pronounce CentOS a lot like I say "Santos." Santos is an 
Australian company.
