More specifically

 

Should it sound like

 

LIH - NISS

 

or

 

LIE - NISS

 

 

 

I am impelled not to squeak like a grateful and frightened mouse, but to roar...

He says his name Lie-niss, so I am pretty sure he likes to be called Lie-niss.

 

And this does not belong in General Discussion.

So why wasn't lie-nuss or lie-ness options? They seemed more likely than lih-niss.

I remember someone asking him on a WAN show Twitter Btliz why he didn't pronounce Linux as Linux, and he said something along the lines of "That was the worst question we've ever had on the show."

I once was a poor man, but then I found a crown.

Some people actually call him LEE-nus. They're generally ESL.

Lee-nus is how it's pronounced over here, so I support your claim.   ;)

Cheers,

Linus
