you're out
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again
You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

You don't like the pronounciation?
That's how I used to pronounce it too (nexooeez)! That's how it's spelled damnit!
Nexius. That would be the "correct" spelling for how everyone else is pronouncing it here.

I don't understand ppl who gets upset about Nexuiz pronunciation, there are lots of other projects with unexpected pronunciation like GNU, MySQL, etc, etc

I spoke slowly on purpose because I know not everyone on here knows English well.
It has always annoyed me just how bad some of the names of open source software can be. I just had a chat with lordhavoc about the Nexuiz name a few nights ago. He confirmed the story behind the odd spelling...

<Doku-Laptop> ok...maybe you can answer this long lost question. Who named nexuiz? (or rather, who spelled it
originally?)
<LordHavoc> heehh
<LordHavoc> err heheh
<Doku-Laptop>
<LordHavoc> Vermeulen named it Nexiuz
<LordHavoc> an artist misspelled it when typing up the logos
<LordHavoc> he didn't really care, so he adopted the misspelling
<Doku-Laptop> I see
<Doku-Laptop> so that rumor is true
<LordHavoc> then news sites saw it that way and he never changed it
<Doku-Laptop> someone said that they messed up when they registered the domain
<LordHavoc> I nearly convinced him to change the name officially before 1.0 release
<LordHavoc> but I never pushed hard enough
