Apparently, `TEX' is copy-righted by somebody other than Knuth. So refering
to `TEX' or pronounceing it like `teks' means that you are referring to
some other product :-). This is out of Knuth's book. (or an article by him)

Actually if you are typesetting, the `correct' way is to print the E like
a subscript. `TeX' is a sop to those (like ttys) who can't do it. :-)
