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 

[rthrash]

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

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

[BobRay]

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

[sottwell]

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

[Darkelve78]

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

[charliez]

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

[rthrash]

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

[smashingred]

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.

[charliez]

yeah, the x in Mexico has several pronunciations (I am in Mexico too)

I also, pronounce it modecs phpnetically, that is probably why the client wrote it like that, I told him
on the phone we use modx...

mode-ecks must be with vanilla ice cream on the side....

[simonok]

Well I`m from London so for me its "mod" as in mods from the 60's aka paul weller, the jam etc and "x"

[Kristalin]

  cool post in Bulgarian is: МОД-ЕКС (like ~ "mode - ex" )

[ChuckTrukk]

yup redneck here. i try to shorten it when im talking to other folks, but my wife thinks it's maaaaahd-x =)

[The Man Can!]

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

No, really though, I pronounce it the "proper" way
"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

[BlueIndigo]
