I actually pronounce "Xort" with an "X" (ksort). Some might argue that it's pronounced as "Short"; similar to how Xi'an is pronounced "shee-ahn" and Prince Xizor from the now unofficial Star Wars EU is pronounced "shee-zor." Although a lot of Star Wars fans mispronounce it as "Zee-zor," or weirder still, "Zicks-zor." I don't know where they got the "cks" from. :confused:
I'm actually thinking about making a fan profile for the Emergency Green G1 Ratchet and calling him "Jeff." :)
