catch22 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Okay, I'm famously known to mispronounce everything. I have a long list of comical mispronunciations, and I realized, I'm probably saying this one wrong too. But then there's lead, like the metal, and there's lead, as in, to lead. So I've been saying "led-works" but I think it's logically said "leed-werks"? To lead work? Why would it be Lead, like the metal? So which is it!? Quote Coding for Christ.

AggrorJorn Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 At first I said lead as in leading to victory. But then josh told me it was pronounced as led as in led light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catch22 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Wow, I actually got it right the first time? I think the gear in the logo is what made me think about the metal. 1 Quote Coding for Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The true pronunciation is actually a series of tongue clicks and guttural growls. Unfortunately, if you were to hear it spoken aloud, your brain would explode. 5 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

josk Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 More like the name was inspired after drinking those 5 pints of strong German beer. Quote Elite Cobra Squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catch22 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 I just realized Josh says the name multiple times in the intro video on steam. Duur. Either case, the discussion turned to beer, so it's obviously a win. Quote Coding for Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
