Friends,

While learning Grass from the comfort of home, I have never heard
anyone say these terms:

wxgui
wxpython
wxwidget

How are people pronouncing these terms? Do we say the letters "w" "X"
Gui.. or do let wx rhyme with "fix" so that we have wixgui, wixpython
and wixwidget?

A trivial question, but one that will help me present the new Modeler
to a class of new GIS modelers who are familiar with ESRI's programming
environment, but not those available in the open source world.

the "wx" of wxWidgets (nee wxWindows) apparently comes from "W" for MS
Windows, and "X" for UNIX's X-Windows:

w-x-widgets ?
