Whenever I see X at the beginning I assume its a "Z" sound. (Unless is has a - after it of course, like x-ray.)

I hate X. Mostly because at the dawn of the new millenium, X was so god damn cool.
EVERYTHING had an X in it. And of course if everybody does it, its no longer cool.
So they killed the awesomeness of X and I have no idea what will be the next big thing. Maybe Z.

X is kind of like C. Totally useless. They dont even seem to have their own sounds. They borrow sounds from all the other more useful, less-cool, letters.
C copies K and S for its sounds. We really dont even need it. We could dump its punk ass altogether and life would go on.

"MORTAL KOMBAT"
"bisentennial"

It would work.
LETS DO IT!

We always said "zore" and by we I mean my entire class. But my instructor pronounced it "ex-or" it all comes down to a laziness factor I'm sure people understand either way.

This is why I'm glad I learned english as my first language.

I'd pronounce it zore as a straight up word, but since it stands for exclusive-or, it's obviously ex-or.

Before this thread if someone had said zore to me I would have looked at them like they are stupid and wondered what they were talking about. I've never heard it pronounced that way, even by foreigners who can't speak a lick of english who ask stupid questions like, "what is hard drive?" 30 seconds after the professor completes a 1 hour lecture on hard drives, or even by people who raise their hand when the professor asks, "how many characters are there in the chinese language" and answer "5". If none of those people said zore, chances are good that no one at all in the class does.
