Comment on I 🖤 LaTeX

Indeed, “CH” like “Bach” or “loch” is an accepted pronunciation of LaTeX. We didn’t have unicode in the 1980s and LaTeX is a logotype so it doesn’t really get to evolve.

Meh, it’s pronounced Latex. I’ve chosen my hill to die on. Pretending it’s a “k” or “ch” sound is dumb.

You can mispronounce any word you like.

Yeah, but I prefer to pronounce latex properly, just like the rubber.
