Until about three weeks ago I had no idea one of the engineers on our team was even talking about the web server/engine component when he was talking about "Engine X" and as far as I could tell we were using something called "N Jinx".

A lot of cross-purpose conversations were had. I assumed he had written some component of his own called engine X.

Likewise. I've always just spelled it out when I read it in my head.

Now I need to figure out imgur, since it's apparently more clever than "image-ur". im-gur? image-ur... imager? Is it supposed to be "imager"? I'm clueless.

I always though nginx was some variant of Vogon. It /never/ occured to me to pronounce it "Engine X". I've heard other people mention Engine X and never made the connection.
