Yup, why not! Though I think it=E2=80=99s no big deal: people who=E2=80=99ve seen talks o= r have read the manual know how to pronounce it, others may pronounce it in their own way, but that=E2=80=99s fine. (Think of all those who pronounce TeX li= ke =E2=80=9Cteks=E2=80=9D after all those years. :-)) As for those wondering why: =E2=80=9CGuix=E2=80=9D is initially just the co= ntraction of Guile + Nix. Ludo=E2=80=99.
