Точнее, не "teck", а "tech". Процитирую Кнута: "Insiders pronounce the $\chi$ of \TeX\ as a Greek chi, not as an `x', so that \TeX\ rhymes with the word blecchhh. It's the `ch' sound in Scottish words like {\sl loch\/} or German words like {\sl ach\/}; it's a Spanish `j' and a Russian `kh'. When you say it correctly to your computer, the terminal may become slightly moist." -- JID: dottedmag@jabber.dottedmag.net
