So how do you pronounce it? In the beta period, I did OS EX because the fact it was a Roman numeral really didn't stick out at me. I now find it cringe worthy when I hear it instead of "OS TEN"

I call it whatever cat it is.
And then I get on with my work.

Never heard anyone call it os 10. Sounds stupid.

It's version 10, so it's TEN.

Most people pronounce is 'EX' anyway...

Does it _really_ matter?

No it doesn't really matter. Coke's next rebrand doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. I'm ill and feeling fairly lame today so I asked a lame question.

I've never heard anyone call it Ten.
Does it matter?
Officially™ you aren't supposed to photoshop pictures, you're supposed to __verb__ pictures using Adobe® Photoshop™.
Does that stop us from photoshopping shit?
Nope.

Steve Jobs: 'All right, you marketing fuck-sticks. We need to name this new version of Mac OS.'
Marketing Monkeys: 'Oh. Erm. Ah. Well ... we don't want to seem out of turn, Mister Jobs, but wouldn't "OS 10" be the logical name?'
Steve Jobs: 'You people are fucking cretins. Have you not noticed that everything these days is e-this, i-that and eXtreme-whatever? Fuck me, you're idiots.'
Marketing Monkeys: 'Yes, Mister Jobs, you're absolutely spot-on. We're prize imbeciles. We beg your forgiveness!'
Steve Jobs: 'STFU. All right. We need this to look and sound edgy, and a big ambiguous. We're going to call this "OS X".
Marketing Monkeys: 'Oooh! That will create an air of mystery! People won't know if they should say OS Ex or OS Ten! IT will look edgy, but call still be technically called Ten! Mister Jobs, you're an absolute genius, sir, and you put us all to shame? How can we ever redeem ourselves in your eyes?' *fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap *
Steve Job: 'You're all fucking fired. GTFO.'
