Sure, xib = zip. ROTFL.

So how does the Apple crew pronounce .zip? -> "bip"?

(Read X as Z, x->(y)->z, read z->(a)->b ...)

As English is NOT my native language, I would always prefer "ksip" or "ex-ib" like suggested in this thread.

I know how to pronounce .nib (like 'nib' in 'nibble', or the nib of a pen), but how do you pronounce .xib? 'zib'?


"ex-ib". Pronouncing it "zib" (as you would for xylophone) would give a listener the impression that it's spelled "zib". Just as you use the word xray in the military for the letter x.
