I’ve not heard anyone pronounce them the same, but I don’t doubt they’re out there. Probably a decent overlap with the people who pronounce GIF like the peanut butter.

I know how LaTeX is pronounced but I always read it the same as latex.

I’ve only heard LaTeX pronounced like latex in media where someone uses it to show what a geek some character is. eg, I’ve been typsetting my homework assignments in latex since I was 9.

I’ve always pronounced it “Lah-tekh”

They’re pronounced so differently my wife didn’t get it until I informed her that LaTeX is how “latec” is spelled

I’ve seen this floating around a few times but am too tired to invest energy into this specific hype train. What exactly makes it stand apart from latex or markdown (then pandoced into latex)? Genuine question. I think once you’ve found your way around Latex, the major pain IMHO is whenever you apply it for a new use case and need to find out which packages to load that are not outdated. Ah, and alt text for images. But AFAIR this is already mostly solved, just not shipped widely yet.

Pros of Latex I think are important to keep in mind:

• it works since ever and for probably the rest of all our careers
• there is an established community
• the codebase doesn’t change on a whim

Wow. This looks fantastic. I remember using LaTeX and having a love/hate relationship.

same me

I love windows.

Oh, wait… nooo…

Especially when you read left to right so the “punchline” should be on the right I think.

It’s Zoey Deschanel, idk how normal that woman is.

The local BDSM clubs male participants are like 80 % doing something IT related. The overlap might be bigger than you expect.
