How to pronounce? #171

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I'm taking the RHCE course right now, luksencryption is a topic of discussion. 
This may sounds ridiculous, but we can't find the pronunciation anywhere.

How do you pronounce it?
is it 'l-uh-x' encryption, or 'lukes' encryption?

Well as a native English speaker I pronounce it the first way ("lucks" rhyming 
with "ducks") when speaking English.  But I've also heard it pronounced the 
second way and also something in between the two.

I do not think we have clear answer here.... speaking l-uh-x (IOW lu* 
pronounced in e.g. lurk) - both in Czech ans English.

I am really not sure what's the correct option :-)
