Back in like the mid/late-90s, there was a horribly compressed .wav going around the internet of what was supposedly a heavily accented Linus Torvalds saying “Helo my name is Linus Torcalds and I pronounce “Linux” as “Linux”, that’s “Linux”.

I know, because I’ve listened to that .wav a million times. And I still think he said “LEE^^uh -nux”.
