Linus Torvaulds himself pronounces it as "Lee-nucks". Some also pronounce Linix (as in Unix).Originally posted by willyfoo
I feel it's fine either way you're pronouncing it.. I don't think Nikon will mind it either. Everybody knows what you're talking about either way you say it.
Similar situation like Linux... should it be Lee-nucks or Lie-nux??
IMHO, this is the most correct explaination.....:bsmilie:Originally posted by etman

It's a Japanese name.
Nee-cone is how a Japanese would say it.
Nee-kon is how an English speaker would say it.
If it's that bad, why did Kwannon choose a Nikkor lens on it's first camera? It must be good!Originally posted by Red Dawn
Hi
i always thought that the correction pronounciation should be:
"kenna con"
pple became lazy, so they shorten it to nacon, which somehow became Nikon over the years......
most pple who buy into the Nikon system don't really know what they are actually buying into something and kenna conned
:devil:

You see, once upon a time, Cancon dunno how to make lenses. So they approached Nippon Kongaku (Nikon) for a lens. Then they Con people that it's their camera. Shamless. tsk.Originally posted by rueyloon

There used to be a camera company selling crap to these bunch of gullible people, hence the company calls them "Can Con".....

Actually Canon thought they "can con" nikon customers to buy thier product since nikon customers are all kenna conned already. So they decide to stick Nikkor lenses onto the first canon cameras.Originally posted by rueyloon
