Classic pathological liar stuff. Just keep digging with bigger and more outlandish lies.

To be fair, "orientated" is much more common and natural to say outside America. It's not the common term but it's not wrong.
No one says "object orientated".
> He says "object orientated" instead of "object oriented", "Object C" instead of Objective-C, and of course he pronounces the X in LaTeX. I bet he says "authentificated" too. That guy can't code.
The only thing is I also say it like "latex". :C That's how it's fucking spelled!
That's a strange thing to claim. Do you think people in other countries have just never done any of that?

Yeah, same here. Wonder if others are pronouncing it like "latte" (the coffee) or something...
Okay.. how is LaTeX pronounced?
Let the creators of TeX and LaTeX answer:
Donald Knuth wrote in the first chapter of his TeXbook:
English words like ‘technology’ stem from a Greek root beginning with the letters τεχ...; and this same Greek word means art as well as technology. Hence the name TeX, which is an uppercase form of τεχ.
Insiders pronounce the χ of TeX as a Greek chi, not as an ‘x’, so that TeX rhymes with the word blecchhh. It’s the ‘ch’ sound in Scottish words like loch or German words like ach; it’s a Spanish ‘j’ and a Russian ‘kh’. When you say it correctly to your computer, the terminal may become slightly moist.
One of the hardest things about LaTeX is deciding how to pronounce it.This is also one of the few things I'm not going to tell you about LaTeX, since pronunciation is best determined by usage, not fiat. TeX is usually pronounced teck, making lah-teck, and lay-teck the logical choices; but language is not always logical, so lay-tecks is also possible.
