            I pronounce it "joomla".
            Then I wake up in a cold sweat, screaming and sobbing.

            No, really though, I pronounce it the "proper" way wink
            "mod" as in "module".

            I’ve had one client that just would always say "mode x". He was a semi-native Spanish speaker, so it kind of made sense, as the "o" in Spanish would definitely be a "mode" pronunciation. Still super annoying though wink

                    In Dutch mot-ex smiley just like in English ’mod’ and the ’x’ like pronounced in Dutch.
                      Quality doesn't need a big signature.
