I know how LaTeX is pronounced but I always read it the same as latex.

latex-project.org says "lah-tech" or "lay-tech"

Nah. I've said it like the English word in my head for decades. I'll keep doing it. Argle bargle.

It's like those 'kevinist' names where it sounds like 'taylor' but is spelled like 'wishbone' or something. Just. No.

(Hush, Ceilidh, I almost have a sound argument)

If you pronounce project like you pronounce latex, you could call it "latex projext".
