1) I don't pronounce "Paris" the way Parisites do.
Similarly with a host of other foreign words.
Show Linux to naive Americans and 99.994%will
say Lie-nucks (and say Linus Lie-nuss).  Say it
any other way and I put you in a category with
people who say "Pareee" or "Bay-jing" or "Budda-
pesshht" (unless you're a foreigner of course).

2) Say it anyway you want. Remember Linux is "free".
