68-blank, 68-0-10/20/30/40/60, 68-3-28, 68-8-82 etc.
When speaking English I say "oh" for -0-, in Norwegian and German I say "null", and in a rush I drop the 68. Remember once I talked to a mac guy who spoke the "30 processor" in his mac, I really didn't understand what the heck he was talking about :)

Never "eighty oh eighty six".


Maybe because there never was a 80086? :hammer:

I say 80-86, 80-88, 80-1/2/3/4/5/6-86, 80-3-87 etc, most oftenly dropping 80-.

Yes, the "i" in Linux is a short "ee" sound as in "In" in northern Europe, it is not pronounced like "aye" as in "Line". :)


Northern Europe? English phonetics is fubar, the French is different but at least consistant, the rest of us pronounce Linux perfectly well by default.
