Do You Know How Is ‘X’ In ‘Mac OS X’ Pronounced? Mostly People Don’t Know This!
See the image above? Did you know this? I am very sure that many of you pronounce ‘X’ in Mac OS X as ‘ex’. Even I used to call it the English alphabet ‘x’. But today I read in a magzine (a reliable one..Digit) that ‘X’ in Mac OS X stands for ‘ten’.
And to add to that as Mac is short form of Macintosh so one should write ‘Mac’ instead of ‘MAC’.
So the next time say it ‘Mac OS 10′ and write it as ‘Mac’ NOT ‘MAC’. Get That!!

I’ve known Mac in a ½ year (but I don’t own one), and it was only a few weeks I found out that it was “ten”.
Thanks to Wikipedias pronounce after the word.
But I have never wrote MAC - in the meaning of Mac.
MAC = MAC-address. :p
