	The official line is something along these lines.  The spelling of
TeX is not actually Tee-Eee-Eks, but the Greek Tau-Epsilon-Chi and is
pronounced Tech which sort of rhymes with bleech.  Personally I think
that's absurd and just pronounce it either tek (rhymes with heck) or teks
(rhymes with sex).
