I have always thought of it as mod-x, where the mod sounds like the mod in "mod squad" or "module". However I recently watched a video tour of modx in youTube (very good video series on modx BTW) where the author pronounces it mode-x. Although 100% fluent in english, I have been living oversees for a long time so I may have a distorted understanding.

In (Brazillian) Portuguese it would be mod. The x in potuguese sounds like 'cheez' (not quite cheese but close to it), so the Portuguese pronunciation is mod-cheez.

So, how do you pronounce it.

Nobody is going to get me to say "mode - ex" without aiming a weapon of some kind at me.

one of my clients, in Mexico, wrote it -- modecs -- maybe he had in mind the Aztec Codecs or something....

I pronounce it mod-ex with the emphasis on the mod.

charliez the reason modecs would be spelled that way in Mexico is because IIRC "x" is sort of a soft sound--phonetically modecs is how I pronounce it.

In any event I'd take mahhd-ecks for the 'Mericans in the south'rn parts and us up north might pronounce it Modd-ecks. Mode-ecks sounds like someone being a snob.
