Not only is the spelling hideous, but on top of that the "X" in TeX apparently represents not an X but actually a Greek letter 'χ', so you're supposed to pronounce it "tech" or even "tef" or something. And to top matters off, when you use TeX to write the word TeX you are supposed to write it with a kind of logo in which not only the X but also the E has been corrupted. Since then I've been suspicious of the motives of those who force others to use English letters in contorted ways, and have developed the theory that the more contorted the capitalization of the name, the more sado- masochistic the system itself is likely to be.
