But programming paradigms and terminology are all invented inside America.

No one says "object orientated".

> He says "object orientated" instead of "object oriented", "Object C" instead of Objective-C, and of course he pronounces the X in LaTeX. I bet he says "authentificated" too. That guy can't code.

The only thing is I also say it like "latex". :C That's how it's fucking spelled!

That's a strange thing to claim. Do you think people in other countries have just never done any of that?

Yeah, same here. Wonder if others are pronouncing it like "latte" (the coffee) or something...

I said it as latex when I first just read it, but then most professors and such around me said it like La-teck. So I think that's the right way.
It's tech as in technology. You want to argue with long-dead Greek or what? Post about it on X!
No, it’s spelled LaTeΧ, with a chi.
