Now that CLOS is an accepted part of the CL standard, I am interested
in adopting the standard pronunciation.  However, I have heard "CLOS"
pronounced several different ways.

Is it:
"closs" rhymes with "floss"
"close" rhymes with "dose"
or
"see-loss"

I will accept as the standard whatever pronunciation the X3J13
committee used.  Would someone who was part of that process please
enlighten me.

Only half joking,
Danny
