Pronouncing "Xouvert"Pronouncing "Xouvert"Posted Aug 21, 2003 13:30 UTC (Thu) by utoddl (subscriber, #1232)Parent article: The Xouvert project The Xouvert project (pronounced "Zoo-vaire") They may want it to be pronounced "Zoo-vaire", but my eyes tell my brain "eks-o-vert" (similar to "extrovert") every time. My Oxford Minidictionary says "overt a. done or shown openly." That seems to fit the intent of the project -- X done openly.

Pronouncing "Xouvert" Posted Aug 21, 2003 13:50 UTC (Thu) by cpmurphy (guest, #5755) [Link] "Ouvert" is French for "open", so it makes sense for "Xouvert" to be pronounced the French way. I like the extrovert analogy though.
