Now that CLOS is an accepted part of the CL standard, I am interested
in adopting the standard pronunciation.  However, I have heard "CLOS"
pronounced several different ways.

Is it:
"closs" rhymes with "floss"
"close" rhymes with "dose"
or
"see-loss"

I will accept as the standard whatever pronunciation the X3J13
committee used.  Would someone who was part of that process please
enlighten me.

Only half joking,
Danny

CLOSS (floss).  That's how we do it.  We've never thought of it
pronounced any other way.  Nor is there a need.  (B^:) -- Sam
