I was mostly interested in the name and the pronunciation section kind of ruined it for me

If it's to be pig-zee (pixie) for the Americans, it can be pig-zed (pig's head) for the rest of us.

That's funny. Exactly, in french we pronounce z like zed and so that allows us to keep the funny part. Even funnier than "pigs". Thanks

That's really confusing since `pixz` exists and its "pixie" pronunciation actually works

I will pronounce it like "pigs" anyway. More fun.
