Admittedly I say "oh ess ex" down to the fact that I had never heard anyone say it and that I joined the Mac experience during Panther and didn't realise that OS 7, 8 or 9 existed for a few weeks so I didn't realise that the X stood for 10 and so it got stuck in my head, bad habbit.

Do you folks also say Saturn Vee rocket, Benedict the ex-vee-ayeth, and ivy o'clock?

The X in OS X is a numeral, not a letter.

Ditto. If you say Oh Es Ex, you are wrong. It's Mac Oh Oh Es Ten version 10.4. You'd think that by now people would get it.

ACSA 10.4/10.3, ACTC 10.3, ACHDS 10.3
