[ale] pronunciation

[Frank Zamenski]

Thanks for resolving that. I've read also that 'eiter' is correct.
Related... I pronounce Linux as Lin-ucks.
Others say Lee-nix, sounds like Kleenix... or Robert E. Lee[nux]? :)
So, am I 'paper'?
I guess I don't much care as it's said Linus himself doesn't care how
its pronounced either. ;)
