I'm required to use LaTeX for work. For those who don't know, it's pronounced "lay TECH".
I call it "cave tech" for good reason. They invented wysiwyg a generation ago.
Last I knew (some years ago) TeX had a specific pronounciation, but LaTeX didn't.
I thought this was explained at the beginning of the book, which I don't have here.
Usually when writing posts to newsgroups, or elsewhere, it is too much work to get the details needed for LaTeX. More often, I use notation from some programming
language, though not always the same one. Depending on context, ** or ^ for exponents.
sqrt() for square roots, and log() for logs.
