Xbox

One word, no dash.

The 'X' should have a 'Z' sound then, surely? Otherwise it's a travesty of English grammar convention, which shall not be stood for!

"Zbox"

How do you pronounce "Zb"? Can't flow from a 'zzz' to a consonant - it's not possible, so you need a vowel sound.

"zubox"
"zabox"
"zebox"
"zibox"
"zobox"

Yeah, one of those. Which do you think would suit it best?

It's a silent B.

You pronounce it Zox.
Just as in the same way, I'd pronounce your name Venomite! ;-D

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed, the chicken is smoking a cigarette and the egg is looking rather annoyed.

"I guess we sorted THAT out then" Said the egg...

Right. I think there are two people currently in this post that don't understand the joke.

Oh well. You can't have it all (unfortunately).
