Now, what kind of 'a' was that?

Ah well - that seems to have cleared that up then! Thank you all for such comprehensive counsel on this matter. They say that if you don't understand something all you need to do is ask ........

This is how i pronounce it:

BTW - while going through this useless exercise i discovered that the 13.37 i486 repo is missing the deps file for espeak

I never thought of it before. I prononce it with a "A" like in "salt". Maybe just because I'm French. I think I pronounce it in the same way even when I speak in English.

dep file is here http://people.salixos.org/djemos/espeak ... 86-1dj.dep
for anyone has access to server to add it.

Well I've always pronounced it with a short 'a' (sa-lix) but after reading this I think I'll just keep my mouth shut and write it down from now on
