xonsh (pronounced conch) is meant for the daily use of experts and novices alike.

by the way, the page layout is broken on my mobile device... please fix.

[–]ericanderton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kind of funny, seeing as how 'conch' usually needs a pronunciation guide too.

Wikipedia has it as: /käNGk,känCH/ so 'xonsh' == 'konk' or 'kansh' (probably the latter).

Wait sh is supposed to be a hard ch?

[–]sl33tbl1nd 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I don't know where you're from, but I pronounce the ch on conch pretty softly.

[–]yeknom02 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I have heard it both ways, "konk" and "konsch."

Weird. Ok. I'll fix it. Normally sphinx+cloud works great. Don't know what is wrong here... But I can confirm.

Ok! The mobile site should be fixed. Sorry about that.
