There’s already Latex

wait what? Latex is used in tons of non-sexytime things, surely nobody's raising an eyebrow at that?

The "TeX" part is intended to be Greek though, and TeX predates LaTeX.

Yes. Gimp is the photo editor.

I'd heard some sickos in some place use the word Gimp for something bad. Some sick minority are the last people to listen to about the name of software that's used world wide by people who don't know about those sickos.

Which is what the name has not been changed. Put your own house in order.

Yeah, it seems like a totally unnecessary move.

There's already Latex, and the purists calling it Lateh only make it seem like they know and are ashamed.

It's always been pronounced "Lah-tek" or "Lay-tek" (not "Lateh"). That's because it comes from Greek where X makes a K sound.

I pronounce Uranus as Οὐρανός

Another example is Coq, the interactive theorem prover, named after CoC, an abbreviation for calculus constructions, the type theory on which Coq is based, and the co-creator Thierry Coquand in whose native language (French) coq has no sexual connotation and is simply the word for rooster (male chicken).

I have just now seen on Wikipedia to gather this information that it was renamed to Rocq last year after 41 years.

I thought Uranus was said more like yur than your, no o sound.

Or Uranus being pronounced not as your-anus but urine-us. The “alternate/kid-friendly” option is just plain worse. It also teaches kids certain words are bad, which is a bad idea for a multitude of resons I won’t get into.

Look, there's nothing wrong with the word "anus" but if you're actually in the field of astronomy that particular pun starts to get old after about the 10 millionth time. Some people just want to be able to talk about the seventh planet without the room erupting in giggles every time they say its name.

Spare a thought for the poor astronomy student doing thesis work on the volatile gases of Uranus. They know, they get it, they just want to be able to have one serious conversation about it.

I agree with the sentiment, but not the aggressive tone.

Also, *whether.
