Nginx is pronounced:

meta joke, paradox

@Gargron I don’t see an option for “nnn-ginks”

@Gargron ugh, I didn't realize nginx and engine-x were the same thing until I'd used nginx for months 🤦‍♀️

@Gargron all i know is that njinx is en-jean-x

@Gargron One syllable, rhymes with sphinx.

@Gargron

een-gen-chu (as in chuchulain)

@Gargron the second one is exclusively reserved for when im disappointed in needing to see pokémon #124

@Gargron actually the correct is "engine x", but i like to pronounce it like "enginix"

@Gargron Can I just call you Engine X since I think I've butchered your first name pronunciation on every podcast I've done?

@sikkdays @Gargron its just oy-gen! like how euler is pronounced like oiler!

@anna @sikkdays @Gargron Oh yeah he's German, I was pronouncing it as a truncated "Eugene" all this time...

@Gargron I've met a bunch of Nginx Inc staff. They pronounce it "Engine X".

@mark Yes, I know, it's a joke
