It's OS Ten and most anyone who says otherwise sounds ignorant. It's the continuation of the previous numbering scheme but with use of a roman numeral to emphasize that it's very different from the classic Mac OS that came before it: Mac OS 9, followed by Mac OS "X" as in Ten. But I do recall that SJ had in the past pronounced it the other way, are there is a certain appeal to pronouncing Oh Es X (or Oh Sex if you're moving fast).

What it represents is plainly obvious. How it reads is quite different.

Between this and the umbrella thread, my love of Spacemonkey has deepened considerably.

Ex for me. I know it's meaning is ten but roman numerals don't intuitively stick for me and Ex just rolls off the tongue better.

I say it both ways, but I pronounce "Lion" as "Piece of Crap".
