His name's hathix.

You’d think I get that question a lot, but actually I don’tmost people pronounce it a certain way and are absolutely, positively, sure they’re right. There are so many pronunciations it’s incredible, so who am I to choose theproper” jeden? Let ’em pronounce it however they like, I say.

That being said, the number of pronunciations I hear is borderline ridiculous. Here are the most common ones I’ve heard.

  • HA-dixThe “asounds like theaincat”. The “d” sounds like the “d” inedit.
  • HAY-thicksPronounced like the two English words.
  • HAH-thicksThe “ahsounds like theainpa.
  • HA-thicksThe “asounds like theaincat”.
  • Ha-TICKS The “asounds like theaincat”. The second syllable sounds just like the word.
  • Hat-TICKSSimilar to the previous one, except they’re pronounced like two different words.
  • Ha-TEEKSThe “asounds like theaincat”.
  • Ha-THICKSThe “asounds like theaincat”. The “thsounds like thethinthey”.
  • Hah-thee-EX pronounced almost like the “exis a separate word. You’ll see why some say it this way.

Why that last one, you ask? Dobře, look up what “slon” is in Hindi and you’ll find out why the site is named that way. Quite a find, to je.

Hey, at least I didn't call it "Jirafix".

V každém případě, what do I think the proper pronunciation is? I say it as HA-thicks, but that’s just me.

Opravdu, pronounce it any way you want. Opravdu.
