So then operating system is pronounced "Oh Sex!"?

"Scuzzy", always. Anyone who tried pronouncing it letter-by-letter would sound hopelessly uninformed.

(I had been familiar with the SCSI interface for many years before I ever heard of the term "scuzzy", so the joke was entirely lost.)

Pronouncing it "sexy" feels "scuzzy" to me.

Hilarious. Do we have enough of these to justify a pronunciate.io?

ha, I couldn't help myself, and I always get a chuckle out of Apples failed attempt to call it "sexy", I mean thats not even close.

But yeah, probably on the pronunciate.io, only need a half dozen for MVP right? :)
