The characters 'T', 'E', and 'X' in the name come from the Greek capital letters tau, epsilon, and chi, as the name of TeX derives from the Ancient Greek: τέχνη ('skill', 'art', 'technique'); for this reason, TeX's creator Donald Knuth promotes its pronunciation as /tɛx/ (tekh)[16] (that is, with a voiceless velar fricative as in Modern Greek, similar to the ch in loch). Lamport remarks that "TeX is usually pronounced tech, making lah-tech, lah-tech, and lay-tech the logical choices; but language is not always logical, so lay-tecks is also possible."[17] thread-relevant content itp

I'm pretty much alone in biology in writing my dissertation with LaTeX. I nerded out on how you could get a text with a nice straight right margin, something MS Word is still completely incapable of doing. what really sold me on LaTeX back then was BibTeX and having a database for references with control over formatting and automation over keeping track of references in the text and the bibliography. MS Word is really poo poo at references, and back then integration with Endnote and stuff was a nightmare.

not about to switch away from latex for just about any reason, but it sure is an easy target for criticism (same typesetting of the name of this most typographically advanced flavor is used everywhere) (no wedgies plox)

Mainstream rock is the true successor to the widespread album-oriented rock (AOR) format created in the 1970s. However, mainstream rock can be used as a modernized update of classic rock if any radio station playlist has to cut back on some active rock artists and songs due to ratings and popularity demand, which is an absolute variable in each local market by each state and each franchised or locally owned radio company operation. To this day, there are a select few mainstream rock programmed stations that will purposely play any new rock artist while keeping the classics involved, which sits on a borderline scale being influenced by active rock strongly. Meanwhile, some stations consist of playing all 40 years worth of rock hits, ranging from classic hard rock and hair metal artists all the way to 2000s hard rock and metal artists, the format is an open variable. Classic hard rock of the mid to late 1970s and glam metal from the mid to late 1980s alongside the traditional follow up of the 1990s alternative and grunge is the typical expectation for mainstream rock, it is less common to hear many newer rock artists. It is becoming more rare to come across a rock station that will do so, meanwhile broadcasting and marketing the format. Mainstream rock is evolving into a sequel for the classic rock radio format, it is slowly removing any artist that are post 1990s and newer, this is a following trend since hardly any classic rock station will play harder and heavier songs and artists within their format.
