Pronunciation POLL (What? Another non Matrox Hardware thread?)

[Steve C]

Sorry guys, but I'm bending the rules again with another non matrox hardware thread. Now, the question is - How do you pronounce Matrox ?

Is it:

A: Maytrocks
B: Mattrocks
C: Martrocks (Yes, I've heard that!)
D: Something else?

I keep hearing people call it both A & B, so I'm wondering what the general viewis on this one.

MayTrocks - any other pronunciation (IMHO) would be uncivilized - not to mention bad American (can't really say english anymore)!

[KentT]

B: Mattrocks. It definitely sounds better that way, both in english and french.

[Chris H]

MayTrocks surely. If it was Mattrocks, it should have another 't'.

[Michael A]

May-trocks is how to pronounce it. In French, we say Ma-trocks. (In French, The "a" sounds like "apple". You have to roll your tongue to say "tr").

OFFICIAL ANSWER FROM HAIG!!!

Hi guys,

It's MattRocks.

The name is a combination of the last names of both our owners (Matic and Trottier).

Ma from Matic, Tro from Trottier. Then add an "x"

Haig


So there!

Well, I never! - Actually I have, but don't like to brag about it.

Anywho, I guess I was way off on that one!

[Steve C]

You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!

[Jorden]

Don't let Dj get a whiff of this, he'll claim it's MatroxSucks...

[motub]

But Steve, why do you think I can't handle the truth? AFAICS, you don't even know the truth....!

S'OK, I like you anyway....
