Swad Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I read something the other day that told the correct way to say OS "X," but I think it's wrong. Do you say it as "X" or "10?"

evolver56k Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 its X as in the roman numeral 10, pronounced ten, successor to os9 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77-how-do-you-say-the-x-in-os-x/#findComment-561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhLilDoggi Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I say 10 because if you say X - you'll get people confused with Linux and all that {censored} Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77-how-do-you-say-the-x-in-os-x/#findComment-562 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalisphoenix Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Saying OS "Ex" makes me think about sex, which is a pretty good way to ruin what might have otherwise been a productive five minutes.

lemonpez Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 i use both so i voted x, but now that i think about i'm pretty sure i say ten quite a bit more often. however, as a wise robot named bender once said, "the x makes it sound cool!"

Kmike9000 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 it is mac os ten point four point one or two. depends on what you have. mac os 10.1.4 is an very old release. The first useable version i think. the actual ppc mac version is 10.4.2 ! not 10.1.4 the real mac os 10.0.0 was unuseable slow.
