I was told that N-ginx is a curse word in Chinese, so I pronounce it En-Gin-Ex. I think the former is more intuitive though

- gwd 7y ago> I was told that N-ginx is a curse word in Chinese Don't know that many swear words in Chinese, but I know that that "ginks" isn't really pronouncable in Chinese. You could do "ging", but the "k" and the "s" would then need to be separate syllables; the best you could get is "en ging ke se", which isn't really close enough to "N-ginks" to be dangerous. (Similarly, "golf" ends up as three syllables: "gao er fu", plus "qiu" added to the end to clarify that it's a game involving a ball.)
