TizMee – Tizen compatibility layer for MeeGoTizMee – Tizen compatibility layer for MeeGoPosted Aug 14, 2012 16:12 UTC (Tue) by theophrastus (guest, #80847)In reply to: TizMee – Tizen compatibility layer for MeeGo by gbraad Parent article: TizMee – Tizen compatibility layer for MeeGo
"Tizen is pronounced as taizen." ...english or Deutsche? ("tah-zen" or "tie-zen", respectively). really? "Tizen" rhymes with 'raisin'?
oh well... for my money as long as the name has a good search discrimination i class it as a good name. avoid common nouns, and single letters (or single letters followed by punctuation; "C..", "C(#|++|etc)", "R" (yes i know about "cran")). so "spirit" is bad, but "xkcd" is good. pronunciation? meh, who actually vocalizes anymore? who pronounces "Linux" the *proper* Linus way?

Almost everyone except Americans and Japanese.

I've never heard Linux pronounced in improper way actually.

There's some ambiguity in pronunciation of 'u' letter. Most Americans pronounce it as 'u' in 'mud' while in Finnish it's a very clear 'u' sound as in 'doom'.

i thought that was the way Linus pronounced it too (roughly: lee-nooks)
then i just had this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IfHm6R5le0 pointed out to me he seems to have 'adopted'? the (ghastly) murkun way. (roughly: lin-ucks) which is the way i've heard every person in the states pronounce it (Dutch and German folks... not so much) [shrug]

At least most people manage not to say "line-ucks" any more...
