OS Ten or OS Ex...?

I'm a Mac noob. Do you pronounce it "Mac OS Ten" or "Mac OS Ex".

os ex

Steve Jobs pronounces it as "Mac O S Ten"

unknowndomain · 3 Sep 2008 at 13:55

Its ten because the version number is 10.5.4 not x.5.4

Bod · 3 Sep 2008 at 14:48

But it's written as X so I pronounce it as X.

Pah, what does Jobs know?

Yup - Official Apple Policy to refer to it as 'Ten'... don't muck that up when interviewing to be a Genius(TM)

unknowndomain · 3 Sep 2008 at 15:01

I don't think it would matter to be honest. It is ten it's a roman numeral and it is the 10th mac os product it's not ex

BillytheImpaler · 3 Sep 2008 at 15:12

Ten of course.

OS ex outside of the apple bubble.

Oh Ess Ex

Spyhop · 3 Sep 2008 at 18:03

Ten of course.

You don't say King Edward Vee

Bod · 3 Sep 2008 at 18:40

You dont say King Edward Five either

Spyhop · 3 Sep 2008 at 18:50

Mac OS The Tenth

Bod · 3 Sep 2008 at 19:14

Dont forget the fanfare when you say it

J1234 · 3 Sep 2008 at 19:21

O S TEN.

PardonTheWait · 3 Sep 2008 at 19:24

It's OS ten, and that is literally a cold hard fact.

Bod · 3 Sep 2008 at 23:11

Awwww but OS Ex sounds much more sexier. Therefore I decree you all wrong.

Phate · 4 Sep 2008 at 01:17

I KNOW it's OS 10...but I say OS ex because I prefer it

OSX or 10 depending on what mood I am in, but they both mean the same thing

TheMagicPirate · 5 Sep 2008 at 15:50

It never occured to me that the X was meant to mean 10.

I've always said OS Ex
