The only poll that matters

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

No. Try again.

wtf, who are you people?

But OL, I do not mentally pronounce ilx or ILX as "ilks", but as "eye-ell-eks", based on its stepwise derivation from the acronyms of its many boards using the formula I Love (x), e.g ILM, ILE, ILB, ILF, etc. Once having accepted "eye-ell-eks" as good and proper reflection of its acronymic, rather than phonemic, provenance, it is but a baby step to "eye-ell-eks-or". QED

Thank you, fellow eye-ell-ex-ors!

Stop, no, this is so wrong.

Look, I will accept 'ill-zor' as a compromise, but that's my final offer.

the dominant culture's gonna dominate, OL. that's what dominant cultures do.

xp how is eye-ell-ex-or any different from Ill-Egg-Zur

enunciation

Dominant culture should be deeply ashamed rn. Sad times. Sad times.

I’m taking this as a positive omen for Tuesday!

Elixir.

Guess I'm wrong

That's a beautiful thought, Mark. It is sad that it is wrong, but what can you do.

there is no correct way to pronounce ilxor because the x could be anything. the x could contain the set of all letters that have ever existed, for example

it is known

btw, I Love ILX, because it is a place where I can get away with saying something like "good and proper reflection of its acronymic, rather than phonemic, provenance".

So are a proportion of the population reading “GenXers” as “genkserz”

Another gen x problem!

eye-ell-christ-orz

ILX = eye ell ex
ILXor = elixir

eloquio et dignitate

The poll is over now, anything received after the date doesn’t count 😎

the poll is over
you were with me all the while

whereas I go more for the sound at the end of "condor"

Or Falkor.
