The language is awful. You can either do basic typesetting or meta-programming. There's no in between.
my engineering friends have told me it's pronounced latec. can't tell if trolling though ๐ง
Or Latech as the 'X' is suppsedly a greek 'chi'.
This makes sense and is probably what they meant
Yes, no one nerdy enough to bring up LaTeX to a girl in a record store would mispronounce it. This is shabby geeksploitation on par with Big Bang Theory!!!
Latek, but the last letter is written in greek
From my time on reddit it always struck me as funny when some weirdo posted sex content on the r/LaTeX sub
