How do you pronounce modx?

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.

I always thought it was pronounced like "Mahhhd x" but then again I’m a redneck lol

ROFL That might not be far from the truth

Oh... another modx redneck to join me and ChuckTrukk!

Makes me feel all nice ’n welcome and such like.

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

Indeed. Mode-x rates right up there with line-ux!

since I’m Belgian, I’d pronounce it Modx-ix ... well Belgian people can be a little strange though...

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

"mod" as in modular, "x" as extendable. "modx" (mahd ecks)

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.
