Dubs never lie.

IPA: /ˈlɑːtɛx/, LAH-tekh

LAY-tek. LAY-teks sounds nicer, but I don't want to be ostracized by my autistic classmates for pronunciation problems, though I would fight tooth and nail about GIF not being a fucking peanut butter.

I don't have any s sound on the tex part, it is closer to tech than teks.

lay-teks is the gummi material, not the document system.
Pronouncing it that way must be confusing to everyone you are working with, how do you cope with the ridicule?

I hope you meant voiceless palatal fricative

If someone got confused when I pronounced LaTeX the same as latex gloves, I would reconsider their intelligence and likely not work with them in the future. Plus no one can ridicule you if you never work with anyone.

>>62020655
It is not about confusing people, it is about looking stupid in front of coworkers.
I worked with a guy who pronounced finite and infinite the same way, it wasn't confusing, we just made fun of him until he corrected his behavior.
There are a ton of words you read but never hear someone speak.
It is not mean, it is just a way to correct peoples behavior

>>62019923
I suppose La(h)-Tex would be the most likely way it should be pronounced, however, Lay-Tex rolls off the tongue nicer than La-Tex.

If you take longer to do something on Word than on any other text editor, then you simply can't use Word.

>>62022776
Wow, so you fucked up your images and had to replace them but you blame the software for it?

Also, pic related. Congrats on being a massive brainlet.

>fucked up images
no, but you constantly update figures, it is not a niche thing to do.
Not easily viewing how images were inserted in a document is problem if you work with people.
And text is just as easy to insert in a editor (if not easier) than in word.
