                                                  ^^^^^^^
I seem to recall Lamport used the term "TeXpert" in the LaTeX manual (or
was it in _The Joy of TeX_?), despite Knuth's unambiguous condemnation 
(Ch.1, _The TeXbook_). It seems well-nigh impossible that the author of
such a macro package would know how its name is pronounced (while Lamport
cites "lay-tecks" as a possible pronunciation, he mentions that it is
certainly not the preferred one.)
