That's a strange thing to claim. Do you think people in other countries have just never done any of that?

Yeah, same here. Wonder if others are pronouncing it like "latte" (the coffee) or something...

I said it as latex when I first just read it, but then most professors and such around me said it like La-teck. So I think that's the right way.

It's tech as in technology. You want to argue with long-dead Greek or what? Post about it on X!

No, it’s spelled LaTeΧ, with a chi.
