At one point in my life I had to use a piece of sado-masochism known as 
TeX, a language for mathematical typesetting. Not only is the spelling 
hideous, but on top of that the "X" in TeX apparently represents not an X 
but actually a Greek letter 'χ', so you're supposed to pronounce it 
"tech" or even "tef" or something. And to top matters off, when you use 
TeX to write the word TeX you are supposed to write it with a kind of 
logo in which not only the X but also the E has been corrupted.

Since then I've been suspicious of the motives of those who force others 
to use English letters in contorted ways, and have developed the theory 
that the more contorted the capitalization of the name, the more sado-
masochistic the system itself is likely to be.
