Silly poll: FS-ex or FS10?

How do you pronounce FSX?

"Flight Sim 10" It has never occurred to me to stumble through "F" "S" "X" or "10." Of course it is possible to pronounce FSX but that is really stretching the diction skills.
 
X - When it's running bad - expensive,exhausting,x(bleeping bleep)!!

and when it's all good - extraordinary,exhilarating,exceptional!!

lol Jan, Now that I think about it, maybe it was a freudian slip by MS to name it FSX? A harbinger of things to (not) come? Although I'm not too sure that referring to it as 'icks' is much better since, as an english-speaking person, that sounds too much like 'icky' (disgusting, gross) to me lol.

Hehe, maybe, but what about Stevie Nicks, Jacky Ickx then, to name just two.... No 'icky' relationship around these two, is there ?..... Of the top of my dutch cheese head you've also got six, fix, mix, kicks, licks, pics, ticks, tricks, so it's not like 'our X = icks' is unknown to you. Just a matter of getting used to...... But like i said, too late now anyway.... ;)

Here in Holland ( known for its cheese, tulips, windmills, cloggs, and since 1988 for its vast community of FS fans ) you'll never hear somebody speak of 'FS EX' , always 'FS ICKS' ( F and S pronounced exactly like you do )

Maybe it wasn't a freudian and MS had been waiting all along for the moment they could call the next iteration of FS 'X' as in 'Ex'.... and be done with it. :)

cheers,
Jan
